25 Amazing Things To Do In Uluwatu, Bali

Planning a trip around Bali and searching for the best things to do in Uluwatu in 2023? Well, you’ve come to the right place, as I just spent the last 3 months living in the Uluwatu area – and it’s easily my favorite area of Bali! 

There’s this really unique and relaxing vibe down there that is hard to explain, but it aligns perfectly with the laid-back surfing culture you’ll encounter while exploring Uluwatu.  There are so many incredible Uluwatu attractions, restaurants, bars, beaches, beach clubs, spas, and hotspots that you could easily spend weeks soaking up the paradise life.

Renting a moto and exploring all the different beaches is a must, but a personal favorite is being constantly amazed at the jaw-dropping sunsets that occur most nights down in Uluwatu! 

With the relaxing atmosphere, incredible dining options, luxurious beach clubs, and so many other amazing things to do in Uluwatu – I guarantee you’ll fall in love with this Bali destination just as much as I have! 

While you could easily spend weeks down in Uluwatu, you really can see and do just about everything here in 3-4 days!  If you’ve been there recently, and have any recommendations you think I need to add to this list – shoot me a message on  Instagram !

Best Places to Stay in Uluwatu

First things first, let’s talk about accommodation.  You really shouldn’t do Uluwatu just as a day-trip, so please stay down there for a few days to explore everything the south of Bali has to offer!

• Radisson Blu Bali Uluwatu   (HOTEL)  — This is one of my favorite places to stay (location wise) in Uluwatu! The rooms are luxurious but the prices are pretty affordable, and you’ll be right in the center of everything Uluwatu has to offer. 
• Mu Bungalows   (BOUTIQUE HOTEL) —  I’ve actually mentioned visiting this place on my list of Uluwatu things to do, but it’s also an epic place to stay because it has stunning views from an iconic infinity pool. I first discovered this place as a backpacker back in 2014, and it’s a hotel I’ve returned to many times! 
• Alila Villas Uluwatu   (LUXURY HOTEL) —  If you’re not traveling on a budget, then look no further and book your stay at the Alila Villas! Not much else needs to be said, because it’s a total 5* experience that’ll truly blow your mind.
• Renaissance Bali Uluwatu Resort & Spa   (MARRIOTT PROPERTY) —  If you’re anything like me, you’ll be loyal to a hotel brand, and I personally love Marriott properties.

It’s a bit of a drive from the downtown Uluwatu area, but well worth it. The breakfast buffet is absolutely incredible!

Getting Around Uluwatu

If you’re new to traveling around Bali, you’ll quickly learn that renting a scooter is the most common form of transport when exploring different parts of the island!

I’d also say that it’s the BEST place to learn how to drive a scooter in Bali. The roads are well maintained, and while Uluwatu is gaining a lot more visitors than in the past, it’s still not as busy/chaotic as Canggu, Kuta, and Ubud.

Whenever I go to Uluwatu I rent a scooter through Uluwatu Scooter Rental – and they’ve always been amazing to deal with. They’ve even organized hotel drop-0ff/ pick-up services, which makes my travels A LOT easier. Their What’s App Number is: +62 857-9232-8771. They offer great bikes and good rates (even better if you rent for a week/month).

If you don’t feel comfortable driving a scooter in Bali (lots of people prefer to hire cars) — one of the best things to do in Uluwatu is hiring a private-driver for an entire day. It’s super affordable (especially if you’re traveling with a partner or group of friends), and all the drivers in Bali are extremely friendly and knowledgeable. They can help you organize a full-day itinerary of places to go (temples, secluded beaches, clubs, etc), and you can make the most of your time without worrying about driving.

Top 25 Things To Do In Uluwatu

Alright, let’s break down what all my favorite things there are to do and see in the area! Originally when I wrote this article I only had a Top 10 list, but since returning I’ve updated it to include a TON more. While it may be difficult to visit ALL of these places, it’s definitely worth a shot! 

1. Visit Uluwatu Temple & Kecak Fire Dance

Exploring this Balinese Hindu sea temple is one of the most amazing Uluwatu things to do and a must-visit! It’s built on the edge of a 230-foot sea cliff, providing tremendous views from the temple of the iconic Uluwatu cliffs. Most of the temple was constructed by Empu Kuturan during the 11th century, so you can be sure there’s plenty of history to learn about.

Don’t be surprised by the number of Macaque monkeys that inhabit not only the cliffs but the temple itself. It’s best to leave all your jewelry at home as these monkeys have a knack for thievery. The monkeys have also learned the skill of bartering, so if your jewelry does happen to get pinched, offering them some fruit may earn you your belongings back.

The Uluwatu Temple does have a small entrance fee of 50,000 Indonesian Rupiah , but it is worth every penny. Enjoy the scenic strolls along the cliffs, marvel at the beautiful temple, and take pictures of the cute by mischievous monkeys.

My main travel tip for visiting Uluwatu Temple would be to go during sunset, as you’ll get the chance to witness the traditional Kecak Fire Dance . It involves dancing, chanting, elaborate costumes and loads of excitement.

All this takes place in the temple while the setting sun acts as a beautiful backdrop. It’s a cultural experience in Uluwatu not worth missing out on. I’ve done it a couple different times and always enjoy it! For first-time visitors to Bali/Uluwatu – it will absolutely be a highlight!

2. Surfers & Sunsets at Pantai Suluban | Uluwatu Beach

The most popular and lively part of Uluwatu is Suluban Beach (most commonly known as Uluwatu Beach), which offers tons of restaurants, bars, and surf shops. 

You simply can’t go to Ulutwau without watching the insanely talented surfers from up above from one of the many bars/restaurants.  You’ll be blown away about the size of the waves, but even more blown away by the beautiful sunsets every night. 

There are tons of epic viewpoints to choose from, but probably the most popular spot would be  Single Finn  (see below).

Can you spot the Uluwatu Beach surfers down there…?

3. Sunday Sessions at Single Finn Club & Restaurant 

There’s arguably no better place to be on Sunday in Bali than at the legendary  Single Finn in Uluwatu ! It’s located at the very top of Suluban Beach, and is the prime spot to watch the talented surfers from above while destroying a delicious meal and cold beer. 

As the night progresses, the music gets louder, and the party vibes are seriously amazing! It’s free entry, there’s always a good turnout, and the music tends to be quality house music!

Travelers in Bali all flock down to Uluwatu for the Sunday night parties at Single Finn, and you’re guaranteed to meet a ton of awesome people. The food and drinks are great (albeit a bit pricey for Bali standards). 

4. The Istana

The Istana quickly became one of my favorite places to visit in Uluwatu, mainly for their Sauna / Steam Room / Infrared Sauna + Cold Plunge spa experience. It’s such a refreshing and rejuvenating experience that always makes me feel like a million bucks. 

It’s also at an absolutely stunning location with panoramic Uluwatu cliff views that will leave you speechless. They also offer a ton of other activities like yoga, guided meditation, cryotherapy, massages, and so much more! It’s become a Uluwatu must-visit in the past couple years!

If you’re wondering what to do in Uluwatu for some relaxation – look no further than the Istana!

5. The Cashew Tree

The Cashew Tree is hands down one my favorite places to eat in Uluwatu! It’s located really close to Bingin beach, so you’ll definitely need to swing by for a delicious meal and one of their healthy smoothies. Every time I go to Uluwatu I eat here as much as possible, and my mouth is watering just thinking about their refreshing smoothies, entrees, and desserts. 

They’ve been offering weekly specials recently, so go their once and check out what the week’s menu is. Last time I was there I got a delicious curry for only 50K IDR (which is about $3.50 USD). 

6. Infinity Pool Sunset Bliss at Mu Bungalows

During my first trip down to Uluwatu – I was lucky enough to have friends tell me about this place.

The infinity pool will blow you away, there’s a jacuzzi perfectly located to watch the sunset, and it’s one of my favorite boutique hotels in Bali!  Every time I take people to Uluwatu, I make sure I take them for an infinity pool sunset swim at Mu Resort!  It’s also a really amazing options if you want a nicer / more luxurious stay in Uluwatu. 

For Uluwatu travelers who aren’t staying at Mu Bungalows, they offer Day-Passes – so you can swing by for epic views and sunset swims for a small fee. They’ve also recently opened up a new restaurant there and the food is amazing (especially the pastries).

7. Sunday’s Beach Club

2023 Update : After two years of being closed, Sunday’s Beach Club is back open! 

I was fortunate enough to spend a day at Sunday’s Beach Club during my first trip to Bali, and it completely blew my mind! Yes, it is a bit expensive for Indonesian standards, but it’s worth every penny.  T his private beach is amazing , the food is incredible, and it’s simply a fantastic way to spend a day.  There are dozens of incredible resorts and hotels nearby, there’s also a decent happy hour selection, and  nighttime bonfires.

There is an entrance fee for a day-pass, but that goes towards your food and drink. If you do decide to spend a day here at Finn’s, it might just be your favorite day you spend in Uluwatu! Everything there is honestly just so lush, and they treat their guests super well.

Bring a book, some sunscreen, and relax on the beach while you knock back some cocktails or fresh coconuts!

8. The Edge in Bali

If you’ve been on Instagram in the last five years, chances are you’ve seen this famous Uluwatu hotspot! 

Known for its infinity pool alongside the cliffs of Uluwatu, The Edge in Bali is a hotel/resort, but guests can also come and experience the pool on a day pass as well. While there is an entrance fee (that goes towards the purchase of food) and prices are quite expensive, it’s worth every penny to swim in the pool and admire the epic Uluwatu coastline views.

You could easily spend all day drinking and swimming in the pool to escape the heat, but it’s another place I highly recommend coming here an hour or two before sunset! The way the light hits the coastline during golden hour is magical, and it also makes for a pretty cool photo! 

9. Savaya Bali

Simply the coolest and best place for nightlife in Uluwatu & Bali

While there are tons of places to enjoy some drinks and dancing in Uluwatu, I’d say that Savaya Bali is the most beautiful and EPIC club on the entire island. When the biggest DJ’s and artists from around the world come here, THIS is where they play. 

It has everything you look for in a club – epic views, sunsets, lights, production, swimming pools, bottle service, tasty food, drinks, and so much more. Check out their parties on the weekends for an incredible experience.

I recently attended two back-to-back nights here at Savaya for Rufus Du Sol & Black Coffee, and partying and dancing while swimming in the infinity pool was an experience I’ll never forget! They are CONSTANTLY organizing parties, so if you plan your trip in advance you can schedule it and attend a wild party. 

You can also follow them on Instagram for event details — plus they regularly announce contests/ promos where you can get free tickets/ guest-list. Either way though, if you’re looking for a good night out in Bali – YOU MUST check out Savaya while traveling around Uluwatu.

10. Padang Padang Beach

Padang Padang Beach is one of Uluwatu’s most beautiful and iconic beaches, and for good reason! It’s quite spacious (with some places with shade for my fellow fair-skinned folk), and is a fun place to spend a couple hours. It’s one of the quintessential Uluwatu attractions, and you’ll drive by it many times as you explore the Bukit. 

Padang Padang Beach is also home to one of the most unique weekly parties in Uluwatu! Bali is one of the best party islands in Southeast-Asia, and you definitely need to check out the weekly event at Padang Padang every Saturday night! While it wasn’t happening when I was living there recently, events are starting to pop back up again!

11. Uluwatu Beaches

Whether you’re  backpacking through Bali  or enjoying a stay at some of the best luxury resorts in Uluwatu, the best part of your stay should be the gorgeous beaches. Each and every one of them is picture-perfect and should be added to your  Bali Instagram checklist .

While some of them are great for swimming, others provide the perfect waves for surfing. But all of them can offer a fantastic beach day with stunning scenery and crystal clear waters.

And having your own moto to is pretty much essential when visiting Uluwatu (or else you’ll be spending a ton of money on taxis/ Gojeks) and wasting a bunch of time. Uluwatu is a fantastic place to learn how to ride a moto though, and renting one should only cost about $5-6 USD per day. 

The Best Beaches in Uluwatu include:

• Suluban Beach
• Tegal Wangi Beach
• Padang Padang Beach
• Bingin Beach
• Dreamland Beach
• Nyang Nyang Beach
• Nunggalan Beach
• Melasti Beach
• Green Bowl Beach (A really cool secluded beach but the hike down can be intense)
• Pandawa Beach
• Karma Kandara Private Beach (Club)

All of these are fantastic beaches and worth a visit! If you don’t have your a moto, what you could do is hire a driver for the day (which is super affordable in Bali), and you could do a full day of beach hopping. All of these are within a 15-20 minute drive max from the main area of Uluwatu. 

Travel Advice |  PLEASE make sure you have proper travel insurance coverage if you rent a moto and drive around Bali.  Unfortunately, accidents do happen (especially when people drink & drive), and you want to make sure you are covered if something happens.

I personally suggest HeyMondo due to their extensive range of cover for all situations and trip lengths, their fair pricing, and their handy app which allows you to not only manage any claims within the app, but also access free assistance online so you don’t need to rack up an expensive phone bill while abroad!

12. Ulu Cliffhouse 

Ulu Cliffhouse is a relatively new beach club located on the edge of a cliff overlooking the ocean, and it’s simply an Uluwatu must visit! They have a pool with plenty of loungers, so prepare to feel pampered in this stunning location. Order cocktails while you relax by the pool, or head down to the private beach at the end of a narrow pathway.

The views from Ulu Cliffhouse are unrivaled and provide some wonderful photo opportunities. This is one of the Uluwatu attractions that you’ll want to document for ‘the Gram’.

The food is delicious, the staff are super nice, and it’s also a great place to do some co-working (I’ve brought my laptop there many times to work from their beautiful oceanfront tables).

13. Tuesday Cinema Night at Ulu Cliffhouse 

One of my favorite things to to do in Uluwatu is watching a movie every Tuesday night! They transform the chic beach club into a movie theater and offer the same menu for dinner and drinks. 

It’s my new favorite way to watch a movie, and I went at least 5 or 6 different times when I was living in Uluwatu. Movies start around 7PM, but I’d recommend getting there a bit early to enjoy a fresh coconut or bintang and watch the sunset. 

14. Balangan Viewpoint 

Just to the right of Balangan Beach, you’ll find the stunning Balangan viewpoint, situated on top of a cliff. It’s easy to get to and provides panoramic views of the beach, ocean, and coastline.

It’s a beautiful place to take photos, but be warned that in the evening just before sunset the viewing point does get rather crowded. For this reason, it may be best to visit in the afternoon. After taking in the wonderful sights, head to the beach for a light meal at one of the beachfront restaurants.

15. Explore The Cave at Pantai Tegal Wangi 

The cliffs at Pantai Tegal Wangi are a popular sunset location. But breaking free from the crowds is often the best option. Take the small staircase down to the secluded beach and explore the small rock pools that line the shore.

There’s also a cave on the beach which provides some great photo opportunities. Just be sure to check the tides before heading to the beach. It’s important to visit at low tide as the beach becomes very small during high tide which can become dangerous. 

16. Uluwatu Surfing

Surfing is by far one of the best things to do in Uluwatu! The locals have found some amazing spots, so whether you’re an avid surfer, or just starting out, there’s a surf spot suitable for you.

Padang Padang is one of the more popular surf spots in the area. The best part is it’s suitable for both advanced surfers and wave seekers that are just beginning their surfing journey. The two breaks make this possible. If you’ve got a lot of experience under your belt, head to the famous left break and ride the barrels. If you’re just starting out, surf the gentle beach break to the right.

Suluban, Bingin, and Dreamland Beach are other locations ideal for expert surfers. They’re also wonderful locations to watch some pro surfing. So, if the waves are calling you, be sure to add surfing to your Uluwatu itinerary.

17. Bali Paragliding 

For those adrenaline junkies looking to take to the sky, there are daily paragliding flights that take off from the cliff that overlooks Nyang Nyang Beach! I haven’t personally gotten the chance to do this yet, but I’ve seen paragliders and it looks incredible! 

Make sure you’re wearing closed shoes, as the company won’t let you fly in slip-slops. It’s also a great idea to bring a Go-Pro if you have one as you’ll want to preserve these memories for as long as possible.

It costs around $100 USD for a 30-minute tandem flight – Contact the people at  Bali Paraglide Tours  for reservations

18. GWK Cultural Park 

Garuda Wisnu Kencana Cultural Park  is an impressive 240 hectares and features some incredible works of art. The main attraction at this cultural complex is a 492-foot statue of Vishnu, as well as one of the mythical bird Garuda. 

Apart from strolling the grounds and admiring the statues, you can also visit the on-site reflexology center, the souvenir store, and the theater. Often you’ll be able to catch a performance by traditional dancers – this always takes place by the big statue of Vishnu. 

I’ve actually been fortunate enough to attend a music festival here, and it’s such an awesome place to visit in Uluwatu! Just be sure to bring plenty of water, as you’ll get tired exploring in the Bali humidity.

19. Treat Yourself to a Spa Day 

Beauty treatments in Bali are extremely cheap, and Uluwatu is no exception. It’s not uncommon that you end up paying one-eighth of the price you would pay in the USA. You’ll find nail bars, massage parlors, reflexology centers, and hair salons scattered all over Uluwatu. So, why not spend a day making the absolute most of them.

Taking some time off will allow you to recalibrate after all the exploring you’ll be doing. This is one of the top things to do in Uluwatu for those wanting to relax.

If you’re not on a tight budget, you can also visit world-class spa facilities at resorts like the Spa Alila at Alila Villas Uluwatu .

20. Karang Boma Cliff 

Karang Boma Cliff offers spectacular views, similar to those at the viewing point near Uluwatu Temple but with far fewer people crowding the area. The viewing point is located between Uluwatu Temple and Nyang Nyang Beach – the turnoff is marked by a laminated sign. 

There are a couple of locals that have set up a toll gate of sorts to make money off the tourists. They don’t charge much to get through but if you’d like to skip the informal payment make your way there earlier in the day. They only seem to set up shop in the afternoons when they know there’ll be a fair amount of people wanting to visit. There is very little in the way of protection toward the edge of the cliff, so be careful and don’t venture too close to the edge.

21. Jimbaran Bay Beach Dinner

Not exactly in Uluwatu, but having dinner and watching the sunset go down in Jimbaran is an absolute must for all visitors to Bali.   Complete with deliciously fresh seafood, candle-lit ambiance, and cold bintangs…it’s a perfect way to spend an evening.

Read all about the  Best 10 Restaurants at Jimbaran Bay , and don’t miss out on a gorgeous sunset dining experience.  I’ve tried a few of the restaurants on the list, and every one of them was incredible!  Oh, how I miss the food in Indonesia!

22. Travel Photoshoot

Uluwatu is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful places in Bali, so where better to hire a photographer and document the most picturesque moments of your vacation or honeymoon.

There are many photographers all over Uluwatu, so sourcing one is never difficult. They’ll be able to take you to the most stunning locations in the area. As well as having a photographer, they’ll act as a guide to hidden locations you wouldn’t have otherwise have discovered.

You’ll end up with a stunning collection of photographs to remember your trip by, and have an awesome time creating those memories. Set aside at least one day of your trip to go on a photo mission. If one of your fellow travel companions knows what they’re doing with a camera, this can even become a free activity. 

23. Pre-Game / Afterparty at a Mart Party

Before and after the major club events, parties, and festivals down in Uluwatu – all the party-goers head to one of the Mart’s to have some drinks.  It might sound a bit funny, but these can be so fun and get pretty wild!  I brought my portable music player there several times, and had kick-ons for hours!

It’s a younger/ backpacker crowd full of international travelers and surfers, and some nights can be hit/miss, but if you’re there during a good mart party, you’ll love it!

24. Relax in the Sea Jacuzzi Pools 

There are incredible natural ‘jacuzzi’ pools at Tegal Wangi Beach. It’s not a very popular beach amongst the locals, so you’ll often find it very quiet. Wedding photographers seem to be the only locals interested in this hidden gem.

It’s a great place to relax on the beach during the day, and you’ll have access to the ‘jacuzzi’ pools as soon as the tide is low enough. The sunset is also absolutely magnificent from this spot, like most other places in Uluwatu. But the privilege of being able to watch it without a crowd around you is a rare treat.

Spend the day lazing in these natural pools for a free spa-like experience. You’ll also be able to take some unique photographs in the pools, especially if you have a waterproof camera to make use of.

25. Never Miss A Sunset

Last, but not certainly not least…I personally think that Uluwatu is simply best place in Bali to watch the sunset.  There are so many amazing viewpoints to choose from, but my favorites are Uluwatu temple, Uluwatu Beach, or Mu Resort.

Am I Missing Any Epic Things To Do in Uluwatu?

I revisited Uluwatu in January 2019, but unfortunately I only had a couple days down there as I was attending a music festival!  I’m sure there are so many more epic things to do in Uluwatu that are on this list, and would love to keep this article updated with the best information!  So let me know if you think I need to add any awesome activities to this list!

The Complete Guide to Uluwatu, Bali – Everything You Need to Know

What's In This Guide?

Welcome to Uluwatu – the surfing paradise and beach haven on the southern tip of Bali, Indonesia !

As someone who has spent several days exploring this special area of Bali, I’m excited to provide you with my personal guide to making the most of your own visit to Uluwatu.

Whether you’re a first-timer looking for the top things to see and do, or a returning traveler hoping to uncover some hidden gems, I’ve got you covered. So, let’s get started with the need-to-know basics!

The Best Time to Visit Uluwatu

One of the biggest factors in planning your perfect Uluwatu vacation is when to go. As an equatorial destination, Bali enjoys year-round warm temperatures and sunshine – but the weather does vary slightly throughout the year.

The dry season between April and October is generally considered the best time to visit Uluwatu. During these months you can expect hot, sunny days perfect for surfing, swimming, sunbathing and exploring the temples and landscapes. September and October are the busiest tourist months.

From November to March, the wet season brings increased humidity, daily rain showers and occasionally strong winds. But the weather is still warm and prices are lower, so it can be a good option if you don’t mind a little rain. Surfing conditions also remain excellent.

If you’re flexible with dates, April-June and September-October are ideal times with mostly dry sunny weather, fewer crowds and lower prices before peak season.

Getting to Uluwatu

Uluwatu is located on the southernmost tip of Bali’s Bukit Peninsula. The most common way to reach it is from Bali’s airport in the south.

From Ngurah Rai International Airport: Uluwatu is only 30-60-minute drive south of the airport. The best option is to pre-book a private airport transfer which will take you directly to your hotel. Expect to pay around $15-25 USD each way.

A cheaper option is to take a taxi from the airport arrivals area. Make sure to negotiate the fare first – it should be 400,000 to 500,000 IDR ($25-35 USD).

You can also catch a bus from the airport to Kuta, then transfer to a minibus to Uluwatu. Total journey time is 1-2 hours.

From Kuta/Seminyak: If you’re already in Kuta, Seminyak or elsewhere in south Bali, you can take a taxi or pre-book a driver for the 30-60 minute drive south to Uluwatu.

Minibuses also run regularly during daylight hours for just 50,000 IDR ($3.50 USD) per person each way.

Tip: Be sure to check what part of Uluwatu your hotel is located in, as some areas like Padang Padang Beach are up to 30 mins drive from central Uluwatu.

Where to Stay in Uluwatu

With its cliffs, jungle landscape and string of beautiful beaches, Uluwatu has an awesome range of places to stay. Here are my top recommendations for which areas to stay in Uluwatu:

• Padang Padang/Impossibles Beach  – For direct beach access where you can walk straight onto the sand. Close to the surf.
• Bingin Beach  – More upscale hotels and villas overlooking this famous surf beach. Great sunset views.
• Pandawa Beach  – A stunning and quieter beach, with luxury resorts and ocean view villas.
• Central Uluwatu  – Budget guesthouses and mid-range resorts close to the main attractions like the Uluwatu Temple.
• Nyang Nyang Beach  – A hidden paradise beach reached by stairs down a cliff. Unique eco-resorts offer epic views.
• Balangan Beach  – Relaxed surf beach dotted with cliffside resorts and budget accommodation.

For first-time visitors, I recommend staying as close to the beaches and coast as possible to make the most of Uluwatu’s spectacular ocean scenery.

Some of my personal favorite hotels in Uluwatu include:

• CassaMia Uluwatu – Incredible luxury villas at Pandawa Beach
• Anantara Uluwatu Resort – Cliffside resort with amazing views
• Karma Beach Uluwatu – Stylish beach club vibe on Impossibles Beach
• Balangan Sea View Bungalows – Cool surfer retreat above Balangan Beach
• La Joya Biu Biu – Superb oceanfront resort at Balangan Beach

Uluwatu also boasts some of the best glampi ng sites in Bali , like the highly-rated Bubble Hotel, a geodesic dome. It’s worth considering glamping for a more unique experience.

Top Things To Do in Uluwatu

With its jaw-dropping beaches, world-class surf spots, and breathtaking cliff-top temples – Uluwatu offers so much for travelers to experience.

Here are the absolute must-do attractions and activities in Uluwatu that you won’t want to miss:

• Take in the cliffside majesty of  Uluwatu Temple  – an ancient Balinese sea temple perched dramatically atop soaring limestone cliffs. Come at sunset for unforgettable views.
• Discover the GWK Cultural Park – featuring an enormous statue of the Hindu god Vishnu – the largest statue in Indonesia. The park also offers various attractions and activities like traditional dance performances, top of statue tours, and authentic Balinese cuisine.
• Surf or watch the pros ride waves at legendary breaks like Padang Padang, Impossibles and Balangan. These are some of Bali’s most famous surf spots.
• Discover the stunning secret beaches  like Green Bowl, Suluban and Nyang Nyang via steep stairways down the cliff face. Often deserted, they are paradise hidden gems.
• Try seafood and Indonesian cuisine at cliffside cafes like Single Fin and Ji Terrace while soaking in the jaw-dropping ocean vistas – especially at sunset. A must-do Uluwatu experience.
• Party the night away at the beach clubs, bars and seafood grills that stay open late in central Uluwatu – like Ku De Ta and Rock Bar.
• Watch a riveting performance of the Kecak Fire Dance at Uluwatu Temple. It takes place every evening as the sun sets over the Indian Ocean.

• Go beach hopping to the string of idyllic sandy coves like Bingin, Dreamland, Balangan and Pandawa that give Uluwatu its tropical beauty.
• Take a surfing lesson  – even as a beginner – and learn to ride the waves with experienced instructors at spots like Balangan Beach. Super fun!
• Pamper yourself with a relaxing massage or spa treatment beside the ocean waves – places like Flower Bud Spa at Padang Padang are amazing.
• Try thrilling watersports like parasailing soaring over the ocean for bird’s eye views of Uluwatu’s cliffs and coastline.

Hidden Gems in Uluwatu (Only Locals, and Now You, Know Of)

While Uluwatu’s main beaches and Uluwatu Temple see lots of visitors, there are still secret spots in the area only well-informed locals and long-time Bali expats know about. Here are some of Uluwatu’s hidden gems to discover.

• Tropical   Limestone Caves  – Deep in the forested cliffs are cave entrances leading to pristine underground limestone formations and pools. Like a secret lost world!
• Temples of Pecatu  – Ancient sea temples like Pura Mas Suka and Pura Dalem Pecatu hide amongst the cliffs inland of the coast. Very peaceful and unspoilt.
• Uluwatu Nightmarket  – Each evening from 6pm behind the temple, locals hawk scrumptious Balinese street food for a few dollars a dish.
• Bukit Caf é  – An ultra laidback cliffside café serving healthy fare. One of Bali’s best-kept brunch secrets.
• Nyang Nyang Surf Break  – A reclusive right hand reef break with barrels and turquoise water that only experienced surfers frequent.
• Jungle Walks  – Follow hidden paths through lush jungle interiors to waterfalls, rice paddies and Balinese village life well off the tourist trail.
• Discover impressive graffiti street art and murals on the side of buildings, down alleyways, and by the roadside, around Uluwatu.

The Delicious Food You Have To Try in Uluwatu

One of the greatest pleasures in Uluwatu is getting to sample all the mouthwatering cuisine. Let’s take a tasty tour of what you should try:

• Nasi Campur  – A popular Balinese dish of steamed rice served with small portions of fish, chicken, vegetables, peanuts and a chili sambal. Yum!
• Satay  – These grilled meat skewers with peanut sauce are a quintessential Indonesian dish. Try chicken, beef, shrimp or tofu versions.
• Gado Gado  – A veggie lover’s dream – lightly blanched vegetables served with a moreish satay peanut sauce. Healthy and filling.
• Soto Ayam  – This classic chicken noodle soup with turmeric, ginger, vermicelli noodles and bean sprouts is simple yet so comforting.
• Seafood  – Being an island paradise, you must sample freshly grilled fish, prawns, crab, lobster and more. Jimbaran Fish Market is great.
• Babi Guling  – Tender slow-cooked Balinese style suckling pig. The salty, crispy pork skin is amazingly addictive.
• Fruit Juices & Smoothies  – Made freshly with local tropical fruits. Pineapple, watermelon, banana, jackfruit and young coconut are delish.
• Desserts  – Try Balinese sweets like klepon rice balls, jaja batun bedug and bubur sumsum. Also great gelato, pancakes, and more.

With so many options, the hardest part is deciding what to try first! Pace yourself and come with an appetite.

Helpful Tips for An Amazing Trip to Uluwatu

To ensure you have a fun, stress-free time in Uluwatu, keep these handy trip-planning tips in mind:

• Prepare for tropical heat and humidity – drink lots of water, use sun protection, and wear light, breathable clothing. For a comprehensive guide on what to pack, this complete Bali packing list has you sorted.
• The cliffs have no safety rails – take care walking near the edges, especially at attractions like Uluwatu Temple.
• Getting around requires private transport – pre-book airport transfers and day tours for ease.
• Visit temples dressed respectfully with shoulders and knees covered or they may refuse entry.
• Bali has set electricity prices per day rather than per unit used – turn off AC when out to save money.
• Getting cash can be hard in rural Uluwatu – withdraw extra money before leaving populated areas.
• Not all beaches are swimmable due to rips and waves. Obey the flags and signs.
• Hire a scooter to freely explore the region’s scattered coastal attractions at your own pace.
• For the temples, go as early as possible to beat the crowds.

Follow these tips and you’ll be all set for an absolutely epic adventure in Uluwatu! Can’t wait to get there? Let’s go!

Uluwatu & Pecatu – Guide & Insights

Being on the western side of the Bukit Peninsula, it’s an amazing place for stunning views of the coastline . Far removed from the wild excitement allows Uluwatu to enjoy the serene side of Bali along the shore. From backpackers who are looking to stay in beach shacks and bungalows to elegantly furnished villas for the modern, luxury traveller. Nevertheless, Uluwatu offers nothing short of breathtaking views .

Most budget accommodations are aimed at surfers and backpackers and are plentiful around the Uluwatu surf break. Some newer and fancier cliff-side hotels are also available with high-end beach resorts for big spending travellers who are able to splurge. Many stunning private villas are also on offer for long and short-term rental. Plenty of these places are situated on gorgeous cliffs designed in bohemian decor for a casual atmosphere overlooking the ocean.

Local food options are relatively limited in this area. Still, some nice little warungs cater mostly to tourists, as well as an increasing number of small restaurants serving high-quality international fare. You’ll find great cafes located nearby the beaches and main streets serving excellent coffee, smoothie bowls, and sandwiches . Excellent breakfast, lunch and dinner will usually cost you a pretty, but still affordable, penny and offer a variety of tastes.

Many beach clubs open till late every weekend. DJs from around the world are usually invited by the bigger clubs during the holiday season. Most of these places will charge you an  entrance fee  or have a  minimum purchase  policy, so you better ask in advance and make a reservation before your arrival.   Age restriction  and  dress code  policies may also be applied.

For the less rowdy bunch, some humble cafes around the Uluwatu surf break have live music shows at night, meanwhile the bars in the area are always busy but tend to close early. 

By day, conquer the waves of Uluwatu’s beaches. By night, sleep in a laid-back escape at a boutique resort, where exotic views meet sophistication. Here you can find the best guide to enjoy your luxurious holiday in Uluwatu.

Beaches in Uluwatu are good places for sunbathing and swimming , although sometimes these can be hard to access as they are situated at the bottoms of cliffs. At the north side of the temple, there are several hidden beaches such as  Suluban, Padang-Padang, Bingin, and Dreamland , which is considered the new Kuta beach with pristine sand.

Massive left-hand barrels are routine at surf spots nearby, makes it perfect for intermediate and advanced surfers. Beginner surfers are strongly advised to hire an instructor when surfing in Uluwatu.

Uluwatu is one of the must-visit areas in Bali. It has several iconic attractions you shouldn’t miss on your Bali vacation. Pura Luhur Uluwatu temple is a large structure that is almost 1,000 years old . The complex is set on breathtaking limestone cliffs with crashing surf below. It is also home to a large colony of mischievous monkeys, so visitors should watch their loose possessions carefully!

Kecak  dances  are regularly performed here at sunset . At the surf break of Uluwatu, steps and paths lead down to a cave and beach that open onto one of the world’s most famous surf spots. Along the cliffside, warungs, surf and souvenir shops, cafes, and restaurants serving the never-ending crowd of surfers who travel from around the world to give the wave a try , as well as visitors who want to enjoy the view.

The present Uluwatu temple complex was built under the instructions of a Javanese Hindu sage in the 11th century  and later developed by Hindu priests. However, it is said to have been the site of a temple for much longer. It is considered to protect the island of Bali from evil spirits. The surf break of Uluwatu first gained international attention in the  1970s,  and since then has attained almost mythical status as one of the world’s best waves.

Most of the upscale hotels and villas in Uluwatu provide  transportation service  for their guests. Some beach clubs, spas, and restaurants offer return  shuttle service  for their VIP guests. Though be aware, free shuttle is not always applied, some business will charge you extra to get free transport. If you prefer more privacy,  hiring a car rental with a driver  is the perfect choice.  Renting a scooter  from a rental is also a great idea; but only if you have experience to ride two-wheelers.

However, some tourists are prone to accidents when driving under the influence in the dimly lit and narrow roads , so it’s highly recommended to ask for a taxi after a night out instead of driving on their own.

Where to Stay in Uluwatu

The best things to do in uluwatu, uluwatu travel tips, faq on things to do in uluwatu.

Accommodation in Bali is plentiful and varied. There are many types of hotels in Uluwatu; backpacker lodges, surf camps, homestays, all these, and more. Each is catered to a different type of traveler so you won’t be lacking for options when visiting.

But for all the different types of accommodation in Uluwatu , you’ll find, there is one type that is particularly desirable in: surf villas (cause this is the surf capital of Bali after all).

Some surf villas in Uluwatu offer fully inclusive surfing experiences including lessons, equipment, and trips. Others are a bit more basic and just offer surfboard rentals and a finger in the right direction. Prices obviously vary depending on how much you want to be included.

But there is more to Uluwatu than surfer lodges. Like we said before, you can find any kind of accommodation in Uluwatu from budget backpacker and party hostels to ritzy hotels and resorts. These can be booked pretty close to your arrival dates and will probably be among the best deals in town.

Here are some of our favorite places to stay in Uluwatu:

Best Hotel in Uluwatu – Padang-Padang Inn 

Located very close to its namesake beach, Padang Padang Inn offers great location and for a great price. The space itself is modern, stylish, and clean. The onsite pool is also a great respite after a long day of surfing, swimming, and climbing all those steps to and from the beach.

Best Airbnb in Uluwatu – Alfiia’s Place

Alfiia and her husband own an amazing Airbnb in Uluwatu and are absolutely brilliant hosts. They have a large property with comfortable rooms and lots of great extras like a pool, BBQ, and workout area. The public outdoor kitchen and coffee area was a personal favorite of mine.

Best Hostel in Uluwatu – SR Hostel Uluwatu

SR Hostel Uluwatu is located relatively far away from the beaches, but I wouldn’t count it out. SR provides more than enough to make your vacation in Uluwatu unforgettable! We’re talking shuttles, bar crawls, club nights, scooter rentals, and a free buffet every night . Hard to beat that kind of deal.

SR Hostel Uluwatu is one of our favourites in Uluwatu but they’re not taking guests right now. We’re not sure if they’re closed for good but we hope they’ll come back soon.

1. Grab the best pizza in Uluwatu at Doppio Zero

I’m going to give full disclosure right now: my girlfriend, who was with me in Uluwatu, is a passionate Italian who can’t resist the temptations of cheese and carbs. At every Italian restaurant in Uluwatu we passed, she would insist on going. For a moment there, I thought my trip in Uluwatu was about to become a dedicated pizza tour.

But in the end, my girlfriend and I ended up going to the same place over and over again: Doppio Zero . The tastefully designed space – a mix of sleek and rustic decor – initially caught our eye. The excellent food, full-bar, and amazing service kept us coming back.

Honestly, we loved this place so much that we went there every day, be it for a pizza or just to have a glass of wine with the owner, Luigi. Maybe it was the copious limoncello shots he fed us, but it was a very easy talking to him.

Doppio Zero is located on the right just before you’d normally turn off the main road to Blue Point from Jalan Pantai Padang-Padang.

• Watch out for: Fresh ingredients, most of which are sourced locally.
• Insider Tip: Go during happy hour (times vary) for buy one-get one free drink specials.

2. Run away to Nyang Nyang Beach

Without a doubt, Nyang Nyang is the absolute best beach in Uluwatu ; NAY one of the best beaches in all of Bali. It’s perfect white sands stretch on for almost 2 kilometers and are touched by some of the most beautiful turquoise water you’ll see in Bali. This place is an absolute gem and should be on everyone’s things to do in Uluwatu list.

Nyang Nyang Beach is located on the far southern edge of the Bukit Peninsula beyond Uluwatu Temple. You’ll drive about 5 minutes east from the latter before reaching the Nyang Nyang turnoff on the right. You’ll know you’ve arrived when you see a parking lot with a local warung and some construction on each side.

After a 10-minute or so walk down a dirt road ( wear good shoes ), you should arrive at the beach and be greeted by splendor. More surprisingly is that you won’t be greeted by hordes of tourists either! Compared to Bali’s usual attractions, Nyang Nyang is very quiet. Come here, and you’ll have lots of space to lounge and just chill.

• Watch out for: The makeshift huts on the beach. Perhaps a place to spend the night? (Maybe bring your backpacking tent just in case.)
• Insider Tip: Don’t stop in the parking lot – you can actually drive a bit more down the dirt road.

3. Go to some local restaurants outside Uluwatu

The neighborhoods surrounding Uluwatu usually don’t get much attention. They’re pretty raw compared to Uluwatu and usually the latter looks pampered in comparison to the former. Most people just make a b-line through these areas in search of surf and beach clubs.

But there are some very good reasons to actually make an excursion out into the nether-regions of Uluwatu. For one, the food you find outside of the touristy areas is actually very good and often very inexpensive. Gone are the boutique cafes and delis; say hello to the warung culture.

Warungs are local food stalls, usually run by a family. They’re about as close to a mom n’ pop diner as you’re going to get and serve up some mean food. One of my favorites when I visit Uluwatu is a little place called Bakso Solo Baru . It’s a literal hole in the wall but they make bomb spicy chicken.

So be adventurous and try some food outside your comfort zone. Some may be surprised to know there is more to Balinese cooking than smoothie bowls and satay.

• Watch out for: The crowds – lots of people next to a stand usually means good food.
• Insider Tip: Not all street food is necessarily safe. Go easy at first and pick your location wisely.

4. Surf everywhere

You can’t visit Uluwatu and not consider surfing! The surf in Uluwatu is absolutely legendary and practically put the town on the map in the first place. Even if you’ve never surfed before, you should still consider a lesson or at least watching the pros from some lazy beach bar.

The surfing in Uluwatu is as diverse as it is epic. The waves come in all shapes and sizes here, from tubes that stretch on like highways to reasonable swells for beginners to behemoths that look like they could swallow the entire island. There’s a wave for everyone in Uluwatu and no one, regardless of their skill level, should feel left out.

There are a ton of places to surf in Uluwatu but some do stand out. Suluban Beach gets some pretty gnarly waves and plenty of surfers looking to conquer them. Balangan is a more lowkey spot with some super long pipes. Nyang Nyang is a bit of a hidden gem that gets very few crowds and some excellent surfing conditions.

These are only a handful of the surfing locations in Uluwatu. Visit yourself and find your own favorite spot!

• Watch out for: Coral reefs – they’re everywhere around Bali and can hurt a lot.
• Insider Tip: Get the latest Uluwatu surf reports at magicseaweed.com !

5. Drop (not literally) by Karang Boma Cliff

The Karang Boma Cliff is a fantastic viewpoint. It offers a similar vista to the one at Uluwatu Temple but receives nowhere near as many visitors. This means one can actually enjoy this place without having to push and shove (which isn’t a good idea near cliffs anyways).

Karang Boma is located in-between Uluwatu Temple and Nyang Nyang Beach. The marker for the turnoff is pretty basic – pretty much a laminated sign that’s way too faded – so keep your eyes open. Once you hit the turn off, it’s about a 5 minute drive to the cliff.

Bare in mind that some entrepreneurial locals have set up a toll gate of sorts before the viewpoint. They’ll ask you for 5,000 rupiah to continue down the road and there doesn’t seem to be a way around. In my experience, the locals are only there later in the day though when it’s busier. If you arrive at sunrise or early in the morning, you may get there before anyone sees you.

• Watch out for: The edge because there’s practically no fences or protection.
• Insider Tip: There are some pretty cool photo opportunities here so bring that camera you’ve been traveling with as well.

6. Get a sundowner at my favorite bar in Uluwatu – Sunset Point

I love this place. It is my favorite bar in all of Bali. On an island where pretension, excess, and vanity can reel their ugly heads, this place feels authentic to me for some reason.

Sunset Point is simple on paper: a wooden bar, a handful of picnic tables, a large collection of beanbag chairs, and a great view. It follows a pretty common trend that you see elsewhere in Bali: that if you build a place somewhere beautiful and have Bintang, the people will come.

But there’s something about this bar in Uluwatu that makes it special. Maybe it’s the remote location; perhaps it’s the strings of christmas lights that remind me of my backyard; or it could be the laidback crowds it attracts; but I just feel this place.

Oh and the sunset views are indeed some of the best in Uluwatu. That goes without saying.

• Watch out for: The puppies; I hope they never grow up.
• Insider Tip: Try and arrive early and get a seat at the front near the cliffs.

Wanna know how to pack like a pro? Well for a start you need the right gear….

These are packing cubes for the globetrotters and compression sacks for the  real adventurers – these babies are a traveller’s best kept secret. They organise yo’ packing and minimise volume too so you can pack MORE.

Or, y’know… you can stick to just chucking it all in your backpack…

7. See a kecak fire dance at Uluwatu Temple

This is probably one of the most touristy things to do in Uluwatu. People travel from all over Bali to see the sunset at Uluwatu Temple and many stick afterwards to see the Kecak Fire Dance performance.

Though it can be pretty busy, the kecak fire dance is pretty damn cool to watch. The performance involves about eighty people and zero musical instruments. A large group of seated men use their own vocals to produce a sort of rhythmic melody to which a group of costumed dancers perform to. The effect is very hypnotic and you’ll soon fall into a trance after listening long enough.

Tickets can be bought at the offices of Uluwatu Temple or ahead of time with an organized tour. If you choose the latter, you’ll also get to see the temple itself as a part of the deal. Check out the deals for the fire dance here !

• Watch out for: the monkeys – they’re deft thieves around the temple.
• Insider Tip: consider buying your tickets ahead of time – most of the seats are reserved for organized tours.

8. Have a drink at Blue Point

It may be touristy as hell but I can’t resist going to the bars at Blue Point first thing when I arrive in Uluwatu. I grab a beer, find a good spot near the edge of the bar, and watch the surfers catch some waves as the sun sets. It’s one of the most timeless things to do in Uluwatu, and I always recommend that everyone do it at least once on a backpacking trip to Bali .

Just to be clear: when I use the term “Blue Point,” I am referring to the general area around Single Fin . Whilst Blue Point is the unofficial name for this place, Single Fin is probably the most well-known establishment around, not to mention one of the most famous beach clubs in Uluwatu.

That being said, I usually don’t like hanging around Single Fin. It’s overpriced and there are plenty more bars down the cliffs that offer better views and prices. Pick any one of them and you’ll be sitting pretty.

If you’re feeling up to it, you should consider walking all the way down the steps to Suluban Beach . Located on the other side of an epic sea cave, Suluban is super intimate and a popular place at sunset. When the water’s low, you can also walk pretty far out into some tide pools!

• Watch out for: The tides as Suluban Beach may not be accessible at when the water is high.
• Insider Tip: Park back on Jalan Pantai Padang-Padang and walk to Blue Point to avoid paying for parking.

9. Make a road trip to Melasti Beach or Green Bowl

Visiting Uluwatu can sometimes be a bit hectic these days. No longer the remote, undiscovered corner of Bali, Uluwatu is becoming more developed and, as such, more crowded with people.

If you want to get away from the center of attention in Uluwatu, then consider driving to the far southern shores of the Bukit Peninsula. Aside from finding well-known oasi like Sundays Beach Club and Karma Beach Club , you’ll find some very nice beaches to go with them.

Green Bowl is probably one of the quietest beaches near Uluwatu. Due to its remote location, hardly anyone visits here aside from a couple of surfers or beach bums. Green Bowl Beach is small but if you’re looking for peace this is the place.

Melasti Beach is a relatively new development but is already grabbing people’s attention. The water here is a magnificent blue and the white cliff behind the beach are something to behold. Unlike Green Bowl Beach, there are actually some beach bars and restaurants at Melasti so you won’t have to worry about packing a lunch.

• Watch out for: The lack of development at Green Bowl. There are no beach chairs, bean bags, bars, toilets, anything here.
• Insider Tip: It’s possible to visit Melasti, Green Bowl, and maybe a beach club all in one day. Make it an epic road trip!

10. Join the hordes at Suka Espresso

Suka Espresso is a local legend that usually tops the lists of “Best Cafes in Uluwatu.” The hype is real too: the breakfast (served until 3pm!) is exceptionally good here. Suka uses very high quality ingredients and offers arguably some of the best food in Uluwatu and Bali.

Problem is the lines can be ridiculously long here. We’re talking brunch lines at noon in Portland, Oregon long. (For those who have never visited Portland, people go absolutely nuts for brunch in this town; I don’t make this comparison lightly.)

If you want to get a table at Suka, you absolutely need to arrive early in the morning; I mean early. If you’re planning on arriving at 9am, then you’re already too late. Get there at 7:30am the moment the doors open – it’s the only way my friends.

• Watch out for: The Banana Brulee Hotcakes, which look divine but are probably a major cause of diabetes.
• Insider Tip: Suka Espresso also serves lunch/dinner and these aren’t slouches either.

11. Or have a more peaceful breakfast at Land’s End

If you want to have a nice, peaceful breakfast and don’t want to deal with the madness at Suka Espresso, there are other places to eat in Uluwatu. One of my favorite breakfast cafes in town is Land’s End . This small, unassuming cafe is easily overlooked but totally worth checking out.

Land’s End Cafe is simple: a cashier’s counter, a bathroom, a kitchen, and some wooden tables. The dishes on offer don’t seem that interesting either at first: just the usual fair of smoothie bowls, breakfast burritos, and espresso drinks.

But what Land’s End lacks in diversity they make up for in quality. The coffee is perfectly prepared, the food is made with 100% organic ingredients (and love), and the staff is very warm. To be honest, you couldn’t ask for much more out of a restaurant in Uluwatu.

• Watch out for: The homemade truffles that come with coffee.
• Insider Tip: Glutards will enjoy this place as it has a respectable gluten-free menu.

12. Spend the afternoon (or all day) at an extravagant beach club

It just wouldn’t be an  epic Bali itinerary without visiting some sort of beach club, right? Luckily, Uluwatu has plenty of these and most of them are worth spending the day (and night) at.

There are some staples to Uluwatu’s beach club scene. They are:

• Ulu Cliffhouse: A hot-spot in Bali that is usually the center of conversations. Big, shiny, and often the first club in Uluwatu that everyone goes to.
• Sundays Beach Club: A staple of the beach club scene with a long beach, elegant food, and languid vibes. A good place to run away to without leaving any luxuries behind.
• OMNIA: A beach club that demands attention; not just because of its bold design but because of its “adults-only” policy. People come here to get wild and wild they get.
• Karma Beach Club: A very secluded beach club hidden away below the cliffs and through the jungle. It actually requires a cable car to get to. It’s a pretty small space too, which means you’ll need to arrive early to get a chair.

13. Discover the secret Pantai Cemongkak

Pantai Cemongkak is one of my favorite beaches in Uluwatu for several reasons:

• It’s strikingly beautiful: The crystal-clear water and white cliffs make it look like a remote Greek cove.
• It’s close to Bingin Beach and Dreamland Beach: In fact, it’s right in-between the two and both are 5-10 minutes walk away.
• It’s absolutely deserted: Seriously, I never see anyone here aside from a fisherman or two.

So next time you’re visiting Pantai Bingin or Dreamland Beach, consider making a slight detour to Pantai Cemongkak. You’ll be shocked at how empty it is and, at the same time, how pretty the beach is.

• Watch out for: The sun – there’s not much shelter here aside from some ruined beach shacks.
• Insider Tip: Since there is no development at Cemongkak, be sure to eat in Dreamland or Bingin Beach before.

14. Spend the day at Balangan (and don’t forget the cliff at sunset)

If you’re looking for one beach in Uluwatu that has a little bit of everything, Pantai Balangan is an excellent choice. It has great restaurants, beach bars, not too many people, some great little walks, and, of course, is gorgeous. What more could you want from it?

There are plenty of things to do at Balangan Beach. Some of the best surfing in Uluwatu is here If you’re not up for surfing, there are lounges and umbrellas around for beach bums and a Bintang is never hard to find either.

On a slightly odder note, one of my favorite things to do in Uluwatu is to visit the New Kuta Golf Course. This is not because I necessarily like to play golf (I really don’t) but because I like to walk around the grounds. Located on the edges of the cliffs of Uluwatu, this course may have one of the prettiest views in the world. Plus, I like to yell “FOUR” and fuck with the golfers a little.

• Watch out for: The cliff viewpoint to the north of Balangan – this is a great place to watch the sunset.
• Insider Tip: There is a trail leading up to the New Kuta Golf course directly from the beach. Just look for the stairs.

15. See a cultural show at Garuda Vishnu Kencana Park

Garuda Visha Kencana is a cultural park that is mostly known for the gigantic statue that stands in the middle of it. The colossus, which stands 120 meters high, depicts the Hindu god Vishnu riding his trusty steed, the winged beast Garuda. (Fun fact: the Gardu-Vishnu is higher than the Statue of Liberty.)

The cultural park also holds daily cultural shows for visitors. These shows are careful recreations of traditional Balinese dances and performances, like the Barong Dance , and usually include 20 or more performers. For those who are interested in Balinese dance, which is pretty cool actually, attending one of these is a great opportunity.

Admittedly, there isn’t a whole lot else to do in Garuda Vishnu Kencana. When I visited, I got the feeling that the park was only halfway done. There were times when I felt like the staff just didn’t have their heart in it as well.

• Watch out for: the parades – there’s usually a couple of small ones per day.
• Insider Tip: if you just want to see the statue, don’t bother entering the park – you can see easily from outside.

16. Chill out at Padang Padang Beach

Pantai Padang Padang is one of the most beloved beaches in Uluwatu that attracts all kinds of travelers. Whilst hanging out here, I saw families playing with their kids, Brazilians playing fresco , and backpackers sharing beers; all in one place. Padang Padang is just an easy beach to visit, plain and simple.

Padang Padang Beach is easy to get for that matter as well. It’s located right off the main road and you can actually see the beach itself from a bridge overhead. There’s a dedicated parking lot across the street from the entrance that charges a reasonable 5,000 rupiah.

Note that you will have to pay another 10,000 rupiah to enter the beach itself.

• Watch out for: The satay – make sure it’s cooked thoroughly and correctly.
• Insider Tip: Head to nearby Thomas Beach if you want a little space. It’s larger and usually pretty calm.

17. Find the sea cave at Pantai Tegal Wangi

There is a pretty cool sea cave located at Pantai Tegal Wangi that makes for some great photos. At sunset, the cave is particularly beautiful as the westward-facing cave lights up wonderfully at this time. For Instagrammers in Bali, this is a great spot to drop by and a welcome break from the usual tree swings and temple settings ( don’t be these people please ).

Pantai Tegal Wangi is located on the edge of Uluwatu and is actually quite close to Jimbaran. It’s a bit out of the way and I suggest that trippers use some sort of navigation app like Maps.Me or Google Maps to get there.

Once you arrive at Pantai Tegal Wangi, go for a mission to find the sea cave! (I won’t spoil it for you ;)) Feel free to take a break whenever and enjoy the scenery as well. Tegal Wangi is a very popular place to catch the sunset and having a Bintang here at the end of the day is just as rewarding as finding that cave.

• Watch out for: The small temple complex that marks the entrance of the beach. It’s called Pura Segara.
• Insider Tip: bring beer with you if you want one because the vendors at Tegal Wangi usually run out fast.

18. Head to Jimbaran for fresh seafood

Uluwatu is technically right next to the ocean (no shit Ralph…) but that doesn’t mean it has the best catches of the day. Whilst there is some fresh seafood caught around Uluwatu, most of it actually comes from neighboring Jimbaran. 

Jimbaran, located north of Uluwatu, is famous for its seafood restaurants. A lot of people actually travel to Jimbaran from all over Bali just to eat fresh fish . The quality of the catch is that good and you can find just about anything here, from grilled mahi-mahi to sushi to bakar (fried).

So if you really want the best fish in Uluwatu, you shouldn’t necessarily stay in town. Take the short trip north to Jimbaran and really treat yourself.

• Watch out for: Fresh red snapper – the most delicious of fish in the ocean.

19. Join a CrossFit Class at Bambu Fitness

Even on vacation, you don’t wanna miss out on getting your workout in. In Uluwatu, Bambu Fitness is a beautiful and tropical gym offering all types of classes, personal training sessions and body building options.

Filled with the high-quality equipment, and led by excellent, experienced trainers, it is one of the best places to get your pump on in Uluwatu.

Looking for some more detailed information for your next holiday in Uluwatu? There lots more useful advice located just below!

When to Travel to Uluwatu

Uluwatu has a wonderful climate – not too hot, not too cold, and rarely too wet. It is located on one of the most luxurious and beautiful islands in the world after all, one that is famous for its regularly amazing weather.

Winters in Uluwatu (May-October) are the dry season. Temperatures around this time are lower than usual but still very comfortable at around 28 Celsius or 82 Fahrenheit. Rain is very infrequent during these months, which means that there can be water shortages. Please be mindful of your water consumption in Uluwatu while visiting.

The surf in Uluwatu is also best during the dry winter months. During this time, the waves reach their legendary heights, which means the surfers will be out in droves.

Summers in Uluwatu (November-April) are hotter and more rainy than winter, but neither of these are ever extreme. Although Uluwatu gets a fair bit of rain (it is still tropical) it receives far less precipitation than the rest of the island. It’s location on the arid Bukit Peninsula makes it drier than other places in Bali.

Honestly, one could visit Uluwatu at any time of the year. The weather is nice year round and there’s always something going on.

If you wanted to avoid the crowds, you will have to stick to the (short) shoulder seasons. April and October are good months as there usually isn’t too many people or high prices.

How to Travel to Uluwatu

Uluwatu and the Bukit Peninsula are located on the far southern tip of the island. Outside of the far north, traveling to Uluwatu from most of Bali’s top destinations should be painless. Granted, you’ll have to deal with Bali’s torturous traffic but this comes with the territory.

Most people travel to Uluwatu by private car or taxi. By far, these are the most convenient form of transport in Bali because they are relatively quick and affordable.

You can arrange a private transfer to Uluwatu in many ways. You can either have your previous accommodation in Bali arrange one for you, use a ride-share app like Grab or Gojek or hail a taxi (the worst choice).

If you have your own form of transport i.e. a scooter or car than just remember to be careful when driving to Uluwatu. Traffic can be very bad near the Jimbaran area, especially around 5 pm when everyone is heading to Uluwatu Temple for the sunset.

To get a better idea of how long it takes and how much it costs to arrive in Uluwatu, refer below to the following estimates:

• Kuta to Uluwatu: 30 minutes – 100,000 rupiah / $7
• Ngurah Rai Airport to Uluwatu : 30 minutes – 100,000 rupiah / $7
• Sanur to Uluwatu: 45 minutes – 150,000 rupiah / $10
• Canggu to Uluwatu: 1 hour – 200,000 rupiah / $14
• Ubud to Uluwatu: 1.5 hours – 250,000 rupiah / $18
• Padang Bai to Uluwatu: 1.5 hours – 250,000 rupiah / $18
• Amed to Uluwatu: 2.5 hours – 400,000 rupiah / $28

Traveling from Uluwatu to either Nusa Lembongan or Nusa Penida is very easy! Just head to Sanur and catch one of the many ferries. You can buy tickets ahead of time with Direct Ferry .

How to Get Around Uluwatu

There is really only one way to get around Uluwatu and that’s by scooter. Having your own scooter will allow you the most freedom for the least amount of money. You will need to be mindful of the road as always, but with the usual precautions you’ll get to experience Uluwatu to the fullest.

You can usually rent a scooter in Uluwatu at your hotel. The proprietors usually have some sort of contact – be it a business or just a local with a bike – and should be able to organize something for you.

If your hotel or villa in Uluwatu should strike out in arranging a scooter, then there are plenty of independent rental agencies around town. Just go for a walk and start looking. Don’t pay anything over 60,000-70,000 rupiah per day.

It must be said though that riding a scooter in Uluwatu is just as dangerous as anywhere else in Bali. Please be smart and drive safely while you’re visiting. This means:

• ALWAYS wear your helmet.
• Never drink and drive.
• Don’t take blind corners too fast.
• Being mindful of road conditions and debris.
• Driving aggressively or recklessly.

If you don’t want to ride a scooter, there are some more options of getting around Uluwatu but they aren’t as convenient. You could walk but the distances will be enormous. Or you could hire a private driver but I only recommend this if you’re willing to spend the extra $25-$30 per day.

Also, be aware that whilst ride-shares are easy to organize to Uluwatu they are not easy to organize in Uluwatu. For one reason or another, the area is often devoid of Gojecks or Grabs, which makes them an unreliable form of transport.

The Best Bars and Restaurants in Uluwatu

When I first visited Uluwatu, the clubs were just being built; ramshackle beach shacks and bars were the overwhelming majority of “business.”

Nowadays, there are all kinds of cafes and restaurants in Uluwatu. Fancy bistros, quaint cafes, international delicatessens, local warungs; all of these can be found in abundance in Uluwatu at the moment.

I find Uluwatu’s restaurant scene to be more low key than those in Seminyak or Nusa Dua. Chalk it up to the chronically chilled-out surfer culture if you’d like but, for whatever reason, you shouldn’t have to dress up or look the nines if you want a good meal.

That being said, there are definitely some classy joints here. The opulent beach clubs in Uluwatu , like Sunday’s Beach Club, Ulu Cliffhouse, and OMNIA, are prime examples of how exclusive Uluwatu’s nightlife can be. But getting into these just requires a little extra money and time in front of the mirror.

To give you an idea of where to eat and drink in Uluwatu here are some of our favorite establishments:

• Land’s End Cafe – best breakfast in Uluwatu
• Suka Espresso – best coffee in Uluwatu
• Doppio Zero – best Italian in Uluwatu
• Sunset Point – chillest bar in Uluwatu
• Ulu Cliffhouse – best nightlife in Uluwatu
• Aunty Warung – best local food in Uluwatu
• El Kabron – fanciest meal in Uluwatu
• Bingin Bagus Seafood BBQ – best beach food in Uluwatu

Here are some quick answers to common questions about what to do and see in Uluwatu.

What are the top things to do in Uluwatu?

Spend the day at Nyang Nyang, the best beach in Uluwatu maybe even the whole of Bali. The white sands and turquoise waters are absolute paradise!

What are some things to do in Uluwatu at night?

Explore the diverse nightlife of Uluwatu from exclusive beach clubs, to local Warungs, it has it all. We love Sunset Point as it’s proper chill and obviously great for sunsets!

What are some fun things to do in Uluwatu?

So many! After you’ve seen Uluwatu Temple at sunset then stick around for a unique Kecak Fire Dance performance, it’s freaking insane!

What is there to do in Uluwatu for the day?

Mate, there’s too much! Chill on the beaches, hang at the cliffs at sunset, hit up the bars, restaurants and clubs. There’s also heaps of culture and it’s sick for surfing as well!

Get Insured Before Traveling to Uluwatu

ALWAYS sort out your backpacker insurance before your trip. There’s plenty to choose from in that department, but a good place to start is Safety Wing .

They offer month-to-month payments, no lock-in contracts, and require absolutely no itineraries: that’s the exact kind of insurance long-term travellers and digital nomads need.

SafetyWing is cheap, easy, and admin-free: just sign up lickety-split so you can get back to it!

Click the button below to learn more about SafetyWing’s setup or read our insider review for the full tasty scoop.

Before I sign off here, I would like to remind everyone visiting Bali to be very careful when it comes to drinking. There is a lot of bootleg alcohol on the island – mixed sometimes with dangerous amounts of methanol – and you DO NOT want to drink the wrong batch.

Buy liquor from trusted vendors and don’t accept drinks from random dudes. Go to legit bars in Bali and not to roadside shacks. Sticking to bottled Bintang beer is a sure way to avoid this shit as well.

Bingin Beach

Bingin Beach is one of the more popular beaches that requires a bit of a journey to get to but it’s 100% worth it!

There are no roads that lead directly to the beach so you’ll have to park your scooter or car in the parking lot at the top of the cliff.

From there it’s about a 10-minute walk down the cliffside via a set of concrete stairs.

Once you climb down, you’ll be welcomed by stunning blue waters, a perfect left-hand barreling wave, and a few bars and restaurants.

Nyang Nyang Beach

Nyang Nyang Beach is one of the cleanest and most beautiful beaches on the Bukit Peninsula.

The glistening white sand and turquoise waters make this beach a must-see location during your visit to Bali.

The easiest way to get down to the beach is via the west entrance because there is a newly constructed road that leads from the top of the cliffs all the way down to the shoreline.

Upon arrival, there is a small ticketing booth where you’ll have to stop and pay an entry fee of 10,000 IDR to access the beach.

I recommend visiting Nyang Nyang Beach earlier in the morning before it gets too hot in the midday sun and you can enjoy a few hours down on the beach to yourself before it gets crowded.

If you do decide to visit Nyang Nyang Beach later in the day, I highly recommend sticking around for sunset which is generally around 6 pm.

You’ll also find a few local beach vendors where you can grab something to eat and drink during your visit.

Balangan is a stunning beach located on the southwest coast of the Bukit Peninsula in Uluwatu Bali.

It features a half-kilometer stretch of golden sand between lush limestone cliffs, making it one of the most scenic spots on the island.

Balangan Beach is relatively secluded; plenty of chairs for sunbathing and beachside warungs to grab something to eat and drink.

To make your visit even better, make sure to get up to the Balangan Beach Viewpoint, explore the nearby caves, and take in the breathtaking views from atop the limestone cliffs.

Party At Single Fin

A sunset beer and a boogie at Single Fin Uluwatu are a must.

Every day of the week, Single Fin offers beers, food, live music, and the best views overlooking the famous Suluban Beach surf break.

Single Fin Bar is best renowned for its famed ‘Sunday Sessions’ where resident and international DJs play hourly long live sets.

It has people flocking down to Uluwatu to party and experience a Sunday session at Single Fin .

Apart from partying, it is one of the best spots to watch the sunset in Bali, though you have to get here early as it gets super crowded and it’s sometimes hard to find a seat.

Karang Boma Cliff

Karang Boma Cliff is another one of Uluwatu’s best sunset spots and things to do in Uluwatu.

Located just around the corner from Nyang Nyang Beach, this stunning cliff overlooks the Indian Ocean and boasts some incredible vistas worth seeing with your own eyes.

With its easy access and stunning views, it’s no wonder why this spot has become so popular among travelers and an unforgettable experience not to be missed!

Stay At Mahi Mahi Villas

When planning to stay a night or more in Uluwatu with friends or family, Mahi Mahi offers fantastic options for up to 6 people.

You can choose to stay at the magnificent Mahi Mahi Beach Shack or Mahi Mahi Villa , both of which are located in the popular area of Bingin Beach.

Mahi Mahi Beach Shack is a 3-bedroom beachfront property providing luxurious 4-star accommodation overlooking Bingin Beach.

The Beach Shack consists of a living room, a fully equipped kitchen, an outdoor patio with a million-dollar view, private en-suite bathrooms, free Wi-Fi, and more!

There’s nothing better than feeling at home away from home, and this is exactly where Mahi Mahi excels!

Uluwatu Kecak Fire Dance

Another one of the best things to do in Uluwatu is to go watch the sacred Kecak Fire Dance.

The Kecak Fire Dance is a beautiful performance of ancient Balinese tradition featuring dramatic chanting, hand clapping, and mouth clicking of about fifty male dancers.

A fire is lit up at the center of the circle adjacent to the temple and costumes of fiery colors are used for a spellbinding effect.

Why is it a must-do in Uluwatu? Simply because it’s original, it reflects the true Balinese culture, and it’s something you can’t see anywhere else in the world!

I recommend  booking the Kecak Fire Dance online in advance , including private hotel pick-up and drop-off, the entrance ticket, a guided tour of Uluwatu Temple, and the show.

Go Surfing In Uluwatu

The Bukit Peninsula is renowned for its world-class surfing spots, so naturally, going surfing is definitely one of the best things to do in Uluwatu.

Many great surf schools in Uluwatu offer private or group lessons for all levels of experience, from beginners to advanced surfers.

Surfing in Uluwatu can be done year-round and you can find experienced instructors that will teach you all the tips to eventually become an expert in no time.

Spend An Afternoon At Mana

If you wish to spend a few nights at Mana, it’s possible to book a room at Uluwatu Surf Villas which are located on-site.

Picture this… waking up to the sound of the endless ocean and practicing yoga on a breathtaking cliff face! Sounds bliss, right?!

Discover Pantai Tegal Wangi Cave & Beach

Once you reach the shoreline, walk to the very end towards the rocky outcrop to discover this epic cave.

Go Karting With Your Mates

Next on this list of Uluwatu activities is the Karting Star Bali Club , a one-of-a-kind adrenaline rush.

Located in Jimbaran, it’s equipped with 270cc high-speed go-karts and a 400-meter long track that’s 8 meters wide, with a bridge for added fun.

It’s perfect for a day away with friends or family, and the prices are cheap too!

Sunset Dinner At Jimbaran Beach

Experience a sunset dinner with your loved one, friends, or family at Jimbaran Beach.

This stunning beach is lined with restaurants that serve fresh seafood at a reasonable price.

There are dozens of restaurants to choose from when you arrive and it’s a matter of finding one with availability. Unfortunately, it’s not possible to book a table in advance.

A unique feature is that you’ll be seated at a table along the shoreline so you can dip your toes in the soft sand while you take in the beautiful sunsets of Jimbaran Bay.

Paragliding Adventure

Paragliding in Uluwatu is a unique experience that you should try at least once in your lifetime.

The paragliding adventure is located at Timbis Beach where you can get a bird’s eye view of the dramatic coastline on the east coast of the Bukit Peninsula.

This precise location is made even more enjoyable with the unique wind that makes it the best place to experience paragliding in Bali.

There is no need to be worried about safety as you’ll undergo basic lessons and safety procedures before you fly.

After the lesson, you’ll be guided and assisted by an experienced paragliding pilot and you’ll fly together!

Videos and photos are also included so you can show off this epic adventure to your friends and family!

Visit GWK Cultural Park

A trip to the Bukit Peninsula is not complete without visiting Garuda Wisnu Kencana Cultural Park (GWK).

Explore the beautiful gardens inside the park while learning about Balinese art, culture, and history.

And of course, stop by the enormous Garuda Wisnu Kencana statue standing at an impressive 120 meters tall.

There are also music and dance performances regularly so you can really immerse yourself in the true Balinese traditions.

The GWK Cultural Park is open from 9 am to 8 pm which gives you plenty of time to visit during the day.

I recommend getting your tickets in advance using the link below, and this also gets you access to the Balinese performances.

Sunset Dinner At Mu Bungalows

A great response to Uluwatu what to do is enjoy the sunset at Mu Bungalows.

This one-of-a-kind location offers a romantic, peaceful setting with incredible sunset views overlooking Bingin Beach.

Every night from 6 pm, you can enjoy delicious homemade fettuccini, plant-based delicacies, or seafood on the grill.

The service is perfect and the food is delicious, making it one of the best things to do in Uluwatu on an evening out.

And if you can’t squeeze dinner into your schedule, they also have breakfast and lunch options as well as amenities such as a spa, yoga classes, and accommodation.

Bookings are essential so it’s best to reserve a table ahead of time by contacting them on WhatsApp +62 813-3884-6021 or sending them a DM on Instagram .

If you wish to book a stay at Mu Bungalows, you can click the button below to check availability on Booking.com.

Watersports In Nusa Dua – Best Things To Do In Uluwatu

No place in the whole of Bali can beat Nusa Dua when it comes to watersports.

And the best place to experience them all is Tanjung Benoa Watersports . They have different packages with different options and I’m sure you’ll have the time of your life!

I recommend taking Package G which includes parasailing, a banana boat, a jet ski ride, and a ride on a donut boat.

Check all the details about the tour by clicking the link below and enjoy all the perks including round-trip transportation to Nusa Dua, and much more!

Capture All Your Adventures!

I’m sure y’all know by now that GoPro’s are arguably the best action cameras on the planet!

The new GoPro HERO 11 boasts 5.3K video, 27MP photo, HyperSmooth stabilization, and waterproof up to 10m!

Get A Balinese Massage At Zahra Spa

Everyone loves a massage, right?! Then make sure to head over to Zahra Spa for the ultimate relaxation experience.

I’ve personally had several Balinese massages here, which definitely loosened my tight muscles after a huge day of surfing and exploring.

The most popular is Package A which includes a Balinese massage, a facial treatment, and ginger tea afterward to end the session on a relaxing note.

This package only costs about $15 – what a bargain!

Check Out The Clifftop Beach Clubs In Uluwatu

The coastline here in the Bukit is just incredible and one way to experience it is by going to one of the epic clifftop beach clubs.

Here are the top three clifftop beach clubs in Uluwatu!

El Kabron has what it takes to get you in the right mood. While cocktails are great and the infinity pool stunning, the restaurant is what makes El Kabron unique.

Come and taste the Hot Seafood Platter on the stones, the Black Paella with Baby Calamari, and wash it all down with a Margarita cocktail.

Can it get any better than this? Yes, at dusk you will have unspoiled views of the sun setting over the horizon!

ULU CLIFFHOUSE

Next is Ulu Cliffhouse, a superb 5-star resort with a pool area where you can chill during the day, see the sunset in the afternoon, and party at night.

During the day, you can come here and relax at the pool with a cocktail in hand and listen to lounge music while watching the waves.

After that, you can have dinner and book a stay for the night , which I highly recommend!

Dinner here is reasonable but not cheap, rest assured the food is delicious.

SAVAYA BALI

Last but not least is Savaya , an all-day party destination atop a cliff, 100 meters above the ocean.

Located at the southern tip of this island on the east coast, Savaya Bali has lovely clifftop vistas, an infinity pool, and some of the best music around.

They host events daily with different DJs and styles, and the entrance tickets are around 125,000 IDR.

I recommend coming early during the day to sip on a coconut while working on your tan and then staying for a meal and party – Can you think of better Uluwatu things to do?!

Sunset Boat Cruise Along The Coastline

When searching for what to do in Uluwatu that’s a little different, look no further than a sunset boat cruise along the rocky cliffs of the Bukit Peninsula.

The Black Pearl provides an unforgettable journey that gives you a unique perspective of the region from the ocean whilst cruising into the sunset.

It’s the perfect way to spend the afternoon with your friends or family!

They have a range of different boats departing from Jimbaran Bay at 3:30 pm and returning at 7 pm.

The smaller boat fits a maximum of 7 passengers and the price for 1 – 4 passengers is 1,200,000 IDR per boat, and the price for 5 – 7 passengers is 1,500,000 IDR per boat.

The mid-size boat fits max 10 passengers and the price is 2,000,000 IDR per boat.

Bookings are essential and you can contact The Black Pearl on Instagram to make a reservation.

What To Pack For Uluwatu

When visiting Bali, here is a list of items I highly recommend bringing with you:

Must-Have Travel Essentials

Hidden money wallet.

Keep your cash and other valuables safe with this anti-theft hidden money wallet!

An Uluwatu Bali travel guide: The best things to do, see and eat

Updated On 26th February, 2024

Uluwatu is located on the western cliffs of the Bukit Peninsula in Bali (the bit right at the south of the island) and is one of the most beautiful spots on the island for kicking back, in and around some chilled surfy vibes.

Uluwatu is also, funnily enough, home to the famous Uluwatu Temple locally known as Pura Luhur Uluwatu. The temple sits right on the cliff edge and attracts millions of tourists each year. But really, for me,  an adventure in Uluwatu is all about the ocean.

Whether you’re keen to learn or ready to surf the world class breaks that sweep in from the Indian Ocean surrounding Uluwatu. Uluwatu has some of the most consistent surf breaks in the world, the waters are warm, clear and idyllic for any level surfer.

I first visited Uluwatu 6 years ago in 2013 and I’ve just spent another 2 weeks there. Whilst things are most definitely changing as words catches on about this haven, Uluwatu is still way behind the likes of Seminyak and Canggu when it comes to western development.

There’s fancy shops popping up on many streets and of course Single Fin is still the hottest place to be on a Sunday night but, Uluwatu still feels very untouched. It’s a calm place to explore and did I mention… surf?

EXPLORE BALI ON MY BLOG HERE

Where to stay in Uluwatu…

Looking for a hostel.

HostelWorld here  and have a browse at the gorgeous locations on offer.

Looking for a hotel or a villa?

See Trip Advisor’s top 10 Ubud hotels here.

Looking for an AirBnb?

As always, unless you are a solo traveller or particularly fancy hostel life,  I recommend starting your search on AirBnb . In Bali you get incredible value for money and can really bag yourself some  unique experiences  via AirBnb. I use it all the time!

Get £30 off your first AirBnb booking here.

My personal recommendation:

This tropical villa with pool in Padang Padang.  Book our room here on Airbnb.

Getting around Uluwatu…

The best way to get around Uluwatu, just like most of Bali is by scooter (moped) or car.

If you’re staying for a little while or just want the cheapest and most convenient option, I’d say rent a scooter. Unless you’re staying on a resort and don’t plan to explore much beyond it – you’ll want some transport of your own.

Either hire a car from the airport when you land in Bali or get to your accommodation and sort yourself a scooter. Most companies in Bali will deliver the bikes to your door and you’ll pay them in cash.

Some will want you to pay upfront, I usually pay half at the start and the rest at the end, just to be safe.

Price guide for renting a scooter in Uluwatu:  60-75,000IDR a day

The longer you rent the scooter for, the more of a bargain you’ll be able to arrange. Of course new / larger scooters may cost a little more.

Pop Bonos Group a whatsapp to organise your scooter rental in Uluwatu: +62 8523 9999 684

How much should I budget for Uluwatu?

See my guide to budgeting for Bali here  and have a look at how much meals and activities will cost you!

Restaurants I loved in Uluwatu…

In between these dreamy cafes you will find an abundance of Warungs (snack huts), where you can indulge in the finest Indonesian cuisine too. A combination of Nasi Gorengs and dragonfruit açai bowls is what I call heaven.

Some of my favourites in Uluwatu for eating:

• Breeze Cafe  – The Vegan Nasi Campur was the bomb here.
• Suka  – All around winner. I recommend: the avo on sourdough, the pita and dips, the grilled chicken burrito.
• Nalu Bowls  – the PB smoothie bowl. PB for the win.
• Gelato factory  – ice cream cookie sandwiches!
• Nourish cafe  – the mahi mahi fish and chips and the vegan cheesecakes!
• Mana  – for the tacos, views, WIFI working and everything really!!
• La Baracca / Casa Asia  – pizza and italian galore
• Yeye’s  – Local cheap but great Indonesian food
• Drifter  – Great all around surf vibe, cocktails, raw treats, smoothies, coffee, lunch and dinner!

Coffee spots I love in Uluwatu:

Yet to find anywhere that does oat milk, let alone Oatly!

Best Things to do in Uluwatu…

As well as surfing, there are also a plethora of things to do to keep you occupied and keep your adventure doses running high in Uluwatu.

During your time in Uluwatu consider…

• Head down to Bingin beach for a sunset swim and fresh fish on the BBQ!

• Taking a yoga class at one of the centres

Morning light yoga @ Mana, Uluwatu

Yoga @ Yoga Searcher

Sannyas Yoga Academy

• Do the Detox Chilly Night at Yoga Searcher

Pay 220,000 IDR and dive into the ice pools, hot pools, herbal steam and infrared sauna rooms to completely cleanse your body and mind at sunset. These nights are available Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6pm – 9pm. They also light a bonfire by the outdoor pools to enjoy.

Showers, body wash, tea, water and towels provided and included in the price.

• Watch sunset at Sunset Point with food and drinks

The ultimate spot. It used to be just a point to drive to but it’s insane popularity has led to the locals building the below there.

• Grab a SUP from Thomas Beach and paddle around in the gorgeous clear waters

This beach is dreamy for just a swim and a sunbathe too! Watch out for the steps heading down to the beach.

• Rent a board at Padang Padang and enjoy the waves!

There are a few locals renting boards down on the beach (will save you carrying one down) so you’re guaranteed a board down there. Sunloungers can be rented and there are warungs too for a post surf nasi goreng and fresh coconut!

Boards are 50,000IDR – 100,000IDR (depending on the mood of the guy lol). You can always barter these prices!

• Grab an ice cream sandwich at Gelato Factory

It’s opposite Hatch and is the perfect post surf / post dinner treat for those with a sweet tooth!

• Visit the Uluwatu Temple

People say it’s the best temple to see whilst in Bali, second to Tanah Lot and I agree – it’s pretty beautiful. It’s set right on the cliff edge and on the perfect side of the island for a clear sunset.  Watch out for the monkeys!

During the evenings, kecak dances are regularly held at the open-air theatre just south of the complex. It’s a local fire dancing thing – i’ve heard it’s super touristy but it’s also on most peoples bucket lists and could be worth checking out!

• Have a night at Hatch

This is the main ‘club’ type place in Uluwatu. You won’t miss it as you drive through, it’s got the most colourful walls that have people getting that ‘gram shot all day long. They often host themed evenings here like ‘Latin Night’ where you can learn salsa, eat tacos etc and have a dance. Fun switch up to your evening if you fancy a cocktail.  I also saw they served roast dinners on Sundays!

• Drive 20 minutes to paraglide with Melasti Cliff!

Honestly one of the most beautiful experiences i’ve had in Bali. Flights will be worked around the wind on each day but if you can, try and fly at sunset! It’s absolutely magic and nowhere near as scary as you think!

Book your paraglide flight  here.

• If you’re a confident surfer, surf the world class Uluwatu beach break!
• If you’re not so confident, grab a cocktail at one of the warungs and watch the surfers on the Uluwatu break

At the top of the beach is a super dreamy place to get a sunset drink. Single Fin is here but cocktails are a little more expensive than the warungs around it. Support the locals if you can and grab a Bintang in one of them.

• Hire Hari for the day and having him show you all the local spots.

We had Hari as our tour guide for the day and he took us through all the rice fields, explaining and showing us all that grows in the wild and all the natural remedies this island provides to its people. He is an absolute sunshine of a human and you can book him and his car for a day of tailored adventures.

Drop him a WhatsApp on +62 813-3855-5633 or Instagram @hari_made_

Send him my love!

Uluwatu Guide | Best Things to Do and See in Bali’s Top Tourist Spot

As you’re planning your vacation to Bali , make time in your itinerary for a stop in Uluwatu . This destination is popular with travelers for its beach atmosphere and unique cuisine combined with some of the finest luxury hotels, villas and resorts on the island of Bali .

Things Visitors Love About Uluwatu

The beaches here are beautiful and noted for their crystal blue waters that attract surfers from all over the world. Views are nothing short of majestic, as you soak up some rays from clifftop day clubs or resorts and then watch the sun sink into the water as evening takes over.

The opportunities to socialize with other travelers are stellar, too. Within local communities, Uluwatu welcomes expatriates from around the globe, and many are ready and willing to chat with travelers. As you setting in, you’ll meet people in resorts, on the beach, in clubs and in popular cafes.

If you’re an aficionado of luxury resorts, surfing or day spas, then a stay in Uluwatu is a must. Find what appeals to you and begin to get the lay of the land with this complete overview of Uluwatu .

Getting In and Around Uluwatu

Write down a few tips about how to get around in Uluwatu , and make your way between its landmarks and hot spots. Just like any other city worth visiting, Uluwatu has a variety of transportation options. Your hotel can provide the best options, depending on your sightseeing itinerary, and many Uluwatu attractions are simple to reach by foot. When you’re out and about, don’t be leery of asking locals for directions, as Balinese people are usually very friendly and helpful, and there is normally a fellow traveler nearby who can most likely steer you in the right direction.

Travel Times to Uluwatu

If you’ve chosen to make this the first stop on your itinerary, you’ll spend about 45 minutes heading south from Ngurah Rai International Airport . From other destinations, your travel time may be longer or shorter.

• From Kuta , it takes about 45 minutes to 1 hour.
• From Seminyak , it takes about 45 minutes to 1 hour.
• From Nusa Dua , it takes about 20 to 30 minutes.

You could choose to make Uluwatu your base camp for a stay in Bali . Day trips to many Bali destinations are easy from Uluwatu .

Uluwatu Transportation

Once you’ve settled into your hotel or villa, you’ll be ready to get out there and see what there is to do and experience. Make transportation easy on yourself when you know a few of the local customs ahead of time. Many travelers like to have their own transportation arranged for the duration of their stay. In fact, this is the recommended approach and the most popular.

• You can take a taxi from the airport into town in order to cover the long distance quickly and easily. Marked taxis in Bali are safe to use and frequented for airport trips.
• Once you’ve made it to Uluwatu , the local regulations are designed to maintain the ambience of the town. This isn’t a place full of honking taxis or waving down ride shares. Both are prohibited in order to keep the peaceful vibe.
• Try a scooter to get around. If you’ve never driven or ridden a scooter, you may find that it’s a fairly easy skill to pick up. Wear your helmet and follow local laws as posted.
• For those who prefer to skip the scooter, hire a private driver. While Uluwatu is a luxurious area, you can find one for a relatively reasonable rate, especially with some haggling as needed. Ask your hotel concierge to help you connect with a comfortable car.

Explore Uluwatu Beaches

Everyone who travels to Bali comes with the expectation of spending much of their time lounging on gorgeous sands and skipping into beautiful water to swim, snorkel or surf. Throughout Bali , many of the beaches are absolutely sublime, so pack your swimsuit and sunblock. The beaches are also a major social draw, where you can meet other travelers and locals.

In Uluwatu , the beach scene is largely about surfing. Waves swell and are topped by white caps, while the water remains warm almost all of the time. The direction of the tide is different, however, depending on which section of the coast you choose, so along with surfing, you can find other watersports, perfect for any day out on the beach in Uluwatu .

• Bingin Beach offers jaw-dropping views of the Indian Ocean and strong waves that make it a high-demand spot for surfers who take their sport seriously. Sand is dazzling white beneath a jagged rise of cliffs.
• Padang Padang Beach is a smaller beach with an entry fee, but it’s a favorite among locals and travelers who stay long enough that they start to feel like locals. The steps to the beach here are steep, giving you a chance to warm up before hitting the waves.
• Thomas Beach is a low-key beach with beautiful white sand. Sometimes considered a hidden beach, it still draws a good number of people on days when the waves are good. This beach is between Bingin Beach and Padang Padang .

Enjoy Day Clubs in Uluwatu

While you’ll definitely want several beach days, there’s a lot to be said for hanging out at the tops of the cliffs in Uluwatu , too. Here is where you’ll find resorts designed to entertain you as you relax.

If you’ve never been to a day club, you’re in for a treat, whether you’re the type of person to enjoy a nightclub or not. The concept of a day club is almost the same as a nightclub, but the ambience is totally different. There’s still a focus on signature cocktails, premium service and gorgeous lighting and decor — although much of the lighting is simply from the sun — but the tenor of day club events in Uluwatu is much more relaxed.

Listen to electronic music, dance by the pool or dine on a patio or in a restaurant. When you get warm, take a dip before laying on chaise lounges, rented beds or in private cabanas. Day club dress often focuses on highly stylish swimwear and other beachwear looks, like upscale sunglasses, layered jewelry, refined sandals and sarongs, lightweight dresses or cute shorts to move between resorts or head in or out.

Check with locals to see which resorts feature music or a quieter vibe, depending on the day, since schedules change frequently.

• Go to Sundays Beach Club at The Ungasan clifftop resort for one of the most popular spots to hang out during the day.
• At Ulu Cliffhouse , you’ll find a bar, a restaurant, day beds and a pool for a day of utter relaxation in luxury with incredible views.
• Another popular spot is OMNIA Dayclub Bali , considered a relatively newer entry to the scene in Uluwatu and full of comforts and luxuries for the traveler who wants an authentic resort experience.

Check In to Ungasan Clifftop Resort , Step Out to Uluwatu

Visit Uluwatu Temple

Chances are one of the main reasons you decided to travel to Bali is an interest in the temples. Balinese temples are called pura , so you might see a name that seems familiar, but instead of calling it a temple, a sign or a local may call it pura .

Temple life is a major part of the history and culture of Indonesia. Experience these holy sites to understand more about the true spirit of the place and to show your respect for their beauty and significance. Temples are a breath-taking aspect of life on Bali and make it clear why it’s known as The Island of The Gods.

General information about Uluwatu Temple

Uluwatu Temple is the one temple many visitors travel to Bali to see. This gorgeous temple is renowned for its clifftop location and is dedicated to Sang Hyang Widhi Wasa, the Supreme God of Indonesian Hinduism, in his manifestation as Rudra, a Rigvedic deity known as the mightiest of the mighty.

If you’ve never heard anyone speak of a culture of deities in these terms, you’ll find learning about temples fascinating. If this is a topic that has long held your interest, seeing Uluwatu Temple with your own eyes is a fantastic opportunity that is sure to remain one of the best travel experiences of your life.

While you’ll definitely understand more about this temple upon visiting it, you can get excited in advance with a few fast facts about its history, layout and significance.

• The temple sits 230 feet above the ocean at the top of a cliff. Local folklore claims the cliff is the petrified barque, or wooden sailing ship, of the Balinese water goddess, Dewi Danu.
• There are two entrances to get inside the temple. One is from the north and the other is a hall from the south. A forest with many monkeys surrounds a path that leads up to the temple.
• The temple is an expansion of the original site. Starting in the 11th century, Javanese sages and pilgrims constructed additions. One of them is said to have obtained moksha or emancipated enlightenment inside the expanded temple.
• You are welcome to pray or meditate as you see fit within the temple or on the grounds. Many travelers like to visit early and then make their way to another location in order to take pictures or just gaze in admiration as the sun sets.

Temple monkeys

Macaques live all over the area surrounding Uluwatu Temple . These descendants of Old World monkeys can be a little bit cheeky, grabbing visitors’ belongings when unattended or even while you’re holding your things. They proceed to hold bags — or even phones — hostage until given fruit. This kind of behavior has been studied by primate experts in the area, who found the trade is taught to younger generations, simply because it works so well on humans. Remember at all times these are wild animals and watch valuable belongings closely.

Sad Kahyangan

Uluwatu Temple is considered one of the sad kahyangan or six sanctuaries of the world. The Balinese people believe these temples provide spiritual balance to the island as a whole and are just one example of the pervasiveness of spirituality on an island full of candles, floral offerings, prayer, blessings and other rituals.

Check In to Uluwatu Beach House , Step Out to Uluwatu Temple

Watch a Kecak Dance in Uluwatu

At sunset at Uluwatu Temple , guests can see the kecak dances performed by locals who refined this art in the 1930s. The dances are based on the Ramayana , a Sanskrit epic, and is sometimes called the Ramayana monkey chant for its consistent chant of the percussive sound chak .

• The dance portrays the battle between the Vanaras, led by Hanuman, the monkey god, and the armies of the evil King Ravana.
• Inspired by exorcism dances and originally meant to induce trance, the kecak dances are performed by up to 150 men in checkered cloths tied at the waist and other key dancers dressed in ornate monkey costumes. Audience interaction may occur.
• To see the kecak performance at Uluwatu Temple , ensure you arrive well before sunset when the dances take place. These are popular attractions both for their authenticity and the chance to see the temple lit from behind by the drama of a sunset amid a crowd of high-energy travelers.

If you miss the dance the day you visit the temple, there are many other places throughout Bali to see kecak performances. Just ask your hotel concierge for assistance in reserving a time to attend one.

Exploring Uluwatu, Bali in 1 Day: 12-Hour Itinerary

Looking to discover Bali’s southern tip of Uluwatu with a self-guided itinerary? From quiet beaches to dramatic cliff views and delicious dining in between, Uluwatu is perfect for those who enjoy a sense of adventure with relaxing and good eats along the way. After a day of hitting these spots along the west coast of the Bukit peninsula, you’ll finish the day with sun-kissed skin, sea salt hair and a big smile on your face!

Before arriving in Bali, we expected the island to be overrated. We’ll admit we didn’t have high hopes for its beaches and landscapes and thought it might be too touristy in most places for our liking. We were excited nonetheless knowing that Bali could offer us a ton of fun in other ways! But in truth, just after day 3 of us being in Bali, we realized that we stumbled on one corner of the island that simply wasn’t overrated like we thought.

The peninsula of Bukit is much quieter than the rest of mainland Bali. You may already know that Nusa Dua on the east side of the peninsula has high end luxury resorts all along the coast. On the west side in Uluwatu you’ll find the perfect balance between luxury Balinese retreats and places that call out to everyone no matter their budget.

After spending a month in Bali and exploring this precious side of the island by motorbike, we’ve been able to piece together this itinerary that will give you a good grasp of the Uluwatu area. From dramatic and peaceful sceneries to great food and cultural immersion, here’s how you can discover the best of Uluwatu on your own in 12 hours.

Table of Contents

How to Get Around Uluwatu

Rent your own motorbike.

You’ll find out soon enough that the best way to get around Bali in general is by scooter or motorbike. For just $5 USD, you could rent your own motorbike with two reliable helmets for the whole day! On top of that, delivery and return service of the bike are included for free if you’re staying in Seminyak .

It was more than easy for us to get the hang of riding a scooter in Bali. Yes, in Indonesia they drive on the left-hand-side as they do in quite a few Southeast Asian countries. But following the ways of the road, traffic and signs wasn’t much different than what we’ve already experienced. The only thing that had us sweating was the number of vehicles on the road coming back to Seminyak from Uluwatu at night. Some drivers are crazy and we’re certainly not used to being passed with just inches between us and the next person!

Renting your own motorbike is our most recommended mode of transportation. It gives you all the flexibility you need, you get to discover a lot more on your own, it’s a local experience and it comes with the lowest cost. BUT in the recent months, Bali officials have been in talks regarding putting in place a ban on renting motorbikes to tourists. I know! That really puts a damper on things. But if anything does happen, it won’t be until the end of 2023.

If you’re ultimately hoping to rent a motorbike in Bali, make sure you get your International Driving Permit in order. In the US, you can apply for your IDP through AAA. In Canada, we can get ours through CAA – AMA for our fellow Albertans! It’s actually very easy to register and quite affordable at around $30 depending on where you live. You’ll want to bring your IDP anytime you leave your home country when there’s a possibility you might rent your own vehicle.

Hire A Private Guide / Rider

If you don’t want to take the chance of driving your own motorbike through the bustling streets of Bali, the next best thing is to hire a private guide and easy rider (as in your guide will act as your scooter driver)! Not only can you depend on the local expertise of your guide to take you to the best spots but you can also rely on a highly experienced scooter driver. If you’re not that comfortable behind a bike, this might be the way to go! Especially if you’re travelling solo.

For 12 hours, you can hop on the back and take in the views as you venture with your local guide to all the spots you want to visit on your own custom itinerary. Your guide will know all the ins and outs of various spots, and you won’t get lost in the middle trying to rely on your own navigation.

Hire a Private Car / Driver

If you’re striving for ultimate comfort, it’s actually so affordable to hire a private driver for the entire day. The pricing honestly makes so much sense if you’re in a group of two or more. We hired our own private driver to explore other parts of the island and it make life so easy. We never had to worry about where to park, the direction for entry and landmarks, or about potentially injuring ourselves en route to our destinations.

If the ban on renting motorbikes for tourists is put in place, you know you’ve got viable and affordable options!

Best Accommodations in Uluwatu

It’s worth the try to stay in Uluwatu for a portion of your Bali trip. For top of the top, Jumeirah Bali was one of our most luxurious stays ever . Nothing could compete with that villa and the ocean view we got from there and Dreamland Beach!

For some great options to fit a wide range of budgets, from hotels to vacation rentals, check out the map below! If you’re staying anywhere between Uluwatu Temple and Jimbaran Beach, you’re gold. Even better if you’re walking distance from a beach or cliffside view!

One thing to know about Uluwatu is that the vibe is distinctively quiet and chill. Perfect for a romantic retreat for couples or some quiet time on your own soaking in Bali’s cliff sides! Yes, there are beach clubs and parties and tons of amazing places to mingle. But it’s definitely a pocket of Bali that’s quieter than the hustle and bustle of Kuta, Legian, Seminyak and Canggu. Not as much nightlife but fewer crowds! Uluwatu is on the up and up, and more and more affordable accommodations and delicious dining spots are popping up, which makes it worthwhile for you to set aside a few days to stay in the area while you venture it.

Itinerary Breakdown

There’s a lot than can be explored in Uluwatu, especially when you only have a day to spare! From sun up to sun down, we’ve selected six of the best spots to witness for yourselves along the western coast of Bali’s Bukit peninsula. There are three different beaches with distinctive views and atmospheres, two sea cliffs and of course, Uluwatu Temple.

The itinerary we’ve put together allows you to start with the spots that typically get busiest later in the day. An earlier arrival means you can get the best experience there without feeling overcrowded. Next, you can work your way south before the afternoon and head back north to enjoy sunset at one of our favourite sunset spots in all of Bali!

Weather is one thing that change your route. It definitely doesn’t always cooperate with you, especially in the tropics like Bali. We had some rain the day we decided to venture around Uluwatu and changed course to enjoy brunch before heading back out to visit more spots. It was all sunshine after that which was definitely very much appreciated for the rest of our afternoon and evening!

If you experience rain on your ride and you opted for your own motorbike, try to avoid the roads for a bit and find a hideout at one of Uluwatu’s many cafés and restaurants.

We saved the six stops covered in this itinerary on this interactive map. Check out some of our favourite dining spots and cafés too!

Suluban Beach

Suluban Beach is an extension of Uluwatu Beach and is essentially a secret beach nestled in a cove of rocky cliffs. The sand is quite soft here and when the tide is low, you can walk out further out to where the jagged rocks create an opening in the water. The tight space means that you might have to share the small stretch of beach with other visitors, but it’s not a problem if you get here before 9am.

There’s a car and bike parking area at the top of the cliff. When you type in Suluban Beach on Google Maps, it takes you straight to this parking lot. From the main road, it can be a little bumpy riding on the narrow brick-laden road to the parking area. We had to go slow on our bikes which was okay for us, but with a car with low clearance, I probably wouldn’t chance it. In the case you hired a driver, the walk along the road is a short one at only 350 m (0.2 miles). Five minutes and you’re there! It’s a slight workout on the way back up, but nothing crazy.

Once you reach the parking area, follow the downhill path that leads to a constructed staircase. It’ll take you all the way down to Suluban Beach and only takes a few minutes to reach! The photo below was taken from a platform along the stone staircase that leads down to the beach.

Uluwatu Temple

Uluwatu Temple is a 1,000-year-old temple and sits on the Bukit peninsula’s westernmost point. It’s an iconic tourist sight, boasting impressive cliff sides and it’s famous for being an incredible sunset spot. You can witness the traditional Balinese “Kecak” fire dance in the late afternoon or evening from its grand amphitheatre facing out to the ocean.

The Kecak fire dance can be an epic show to watch, but visiting Uluwatu Temple in the early morning when it opens allows you to roam the sight with fewer crowds and enjoy the morning ambiance. Entrance ticket prices apply and are now 50k IDR ($3.50 USD) per adult for foreign visitors. If you opt in for the fire dance show, it’s an additional 150k IDR ($10 USD), or you can book it online through Klook for cheaper and guarantee your spot!

Karang Boma Cliff

One of the quietest spots we came to in all of Uluwatu was Karang Boma Cliff, specifically the Dimastos Sunset Point. It’s an underrated place but is tricky to get to because of the muddy terrain. We didn’t anyone hear but a group of locals who had camped out here the night prior.

Because of the tricky off-road terrain, we parked our bike beside the Costa Del Mar Uluwatu Hotel and walked the 450 m (0.3 miles) to the viewpoint. It was nice to get away from the beaten path and the tourists and visit a place that was genuinely local. There was an entrance fee here that we paid the attendant once we reached the cliff point. Being so close to the Uluwatu Temple, the view we got of the it was incredible!

Shortly after arriving here, we were greeted by the resident troop of monkeys! Every macaque and their second cousin was here as the local group of guys were packing up their tents and the smell of food in the air. If you didn’t get a chance to see these little guys mucking about while at Uluwatu Temple, you’ll likely see them here as they make their rounds along the cliff side! 

We wandered around the quiet park, just the two of us, with a long stick in hand that the lady tending to the viewpoint gave us to ward off any ambitious monkeys. There’s a forested trail that follows along the cliff side and it felt like the first piece of Bali that we had all to ourselves… and the monkeys. But they mostly kept to themselves as we made our way through and back.

Grab Brunch in Uluwatu

There are very few dining spots we still think of today from our Southeast Asia trip that we would definitely want to go back to. Suka Espresso is one of them! We enjoyed a hearty meal as we were starving by the time we got here and got a seat. It does get crowded, so be prepared to wait in line if you get here after 10am like we did. But trust me, it’s worth it!

Between the two of us, we ordered a Chilli Scramble and Mexican Chicken Bowl, which were full brunch meals of their own and soooo tasty. I still dream about that chilli scrambled egg dish! I also had to satisfy my smoothie bowl craving, so we ordered the Dragonfruit Smoothie Bowl to share. That was divine with fruit and nuts galore. On top of that, we had a matcha latte and iced long back coffee. All of that for only 243k IDR ($16)!

It was the refuel we needed to take on the rest of the day. Be sure to check out the Wanderlog map above for some other cafés and restaurants we enjoyed in Uluwatu!

Nyang Nyang Beach

This stretch of beach feels like it goes on forever on the southwestern coast of Bukit. It’s significantly different from the environment we had on Kuta Beach where there was so much trash accumulated on the shores every day. Though Kuta, Legian and Seminyak are great for the party vibes and surfing, they definitely don’t offer a sense of quietness in nature. 

Here at Nyang Nyang Beach, we could experience that. There’s just one little shack that sells some snacks and drinks, built within an unassuming façade. Nothing fancy here, but the lush cliffs and wide shores of the southwestern coast of Bukit. And the beach goes on for miles! We couldn’t see an end in sight, which gave us plenty of space to walk along the shoreline with few people around.

The road to reach Nyang Nyang Beach was a little daunting with our small engine scooter. We were pressing on our breaks the whole way down on the steep incline and even then we were going a little too fast for our liking! Around the bend, I had to hop off and let my husband ride the scooter down, and the walk down was still super steep. And on our way back up, the momentum couldn’t drive our little scooter up the large incline the whole way through! The little engine that sadly couldn’t! Just fair warning to be careful riding down the steep road from the entrance gate.

Bingin Beach

Nyang Nyang Beach was nice and relaxing, but Bingin Beach was lively, fun and boasted spectacular views! We got another taste of hidden beaches like we did at Suluban, where the massive volcanic rocks keep secret a pristine and quiet shore. On the southwest end of Bingin Beach is this hidden cove we escaped to when we got too hot under the sun.

We actually entered the beach by the staircase closest to this end, which is how we came across it. There are a number of entry points to reach Binging Beach from the cliff above depending on where you park. We parked at this motorcycle parking lot marked by a surf board, walked along a narrow passageway before reaching the stairs down. Going down was not bad, but I was sweating a lot on the way up during that hot afternoon.

Thankfully, it was nice cooling off along Bingin Beach before climbing the stairs back up! Bingin Beach is a great spot for surfing with its consistent waves that throw out many perfect barrels at mid-tide. Something to consider if you’re coming here! The water is much clearer than you would find on Seminyak and Kuta Beach, but at low tide, surfing should be reserved for experts only as the corals are shallow close to shore.

Balangan Beach Cliff

Muster the energy for one final spot in this Uluwatu itinerary. Enjoy some dinner before coming here or bring a quick picnic ensemble because if there is one place to have a picnic, it’s here. When we arrived at Balangan Beach Cliff we were blown away by how many locals of all ages and group types had made a spot of their own to enjoy a group feast. At this viewpoint, there are a few levels of built round platforms laid with grass that allow many people to sit and enjoy the view unobstructed.

Many locals came here early enough to set up their portable BBQ dinner with friends and family. We stood for a bit before we ended up having a spot on the stone edge of one of the platforms all to ourselves. As it got dark, a lot of folks, locals and tourists alike, packed up to head home. But we knew that the show was just getting started. And sure enough, the colours started popping in the cloud-streaked sky!

We could see some people gathered along Balangan Beach, but most of the sunset’s audience were here on the widespread cliff. I had to save the best for last and show you what a front row view at the best Uluwatu sunset spot could look like!

Are There Entrance Fees for These Spots in Uluwatu?

As you’ll soon find out shortly after you arrive in Bali, pretty much every viewpoint, beach, waterfall, natural sight you can think of has an entrance fee. Yup, nothing’s free here, but it truly allows the locals to maintain the sights and make sure they’re compensated for their work and for allowing us to visit come onto their land. The fees are often small and very reasonable, especially for the sights in Uluwatu.

Parking and entering Suluban Beach didn’t cost us anything, surprisingly. The dedicated parking area and constructed steps would be a reason to charge admission, but there was nothing of the sort here. That can change, but it would be a small fee.

Uluwatu Temple took a parking fee as there was a gate and parking attendant. Parking is very well organized here and cost us only 1k IDR (less than $0.07!) to park our bike here. I mentioned the admission and fire dance ticket prices for adult foreigners above in the Uluwatu Temple section!

Karang Boma Cliff was pricier in comparison to the other spots considering the fact that the whole trail to the viewpoint was muddy and unpleasant. But the patch of protected green grass and the available facilities to clean up were a nice touch! The attendant charged us 5k IDR ($0.35) per person to come check out the view.

Nyang Nyang Beach operates on a donation basis. The attendant at the gate was very kind and gave a receipt as well. And though the steep road was treacherous, it was incredibly well paved and so was the well maintained parking area right by the beach! There was shelter for our bikes and even painted lines separating the bike parking spots.

Bingin Beach cost us 5k IDR ($0.35) to park our bike where attendants would keep an eye out. We parked first then handed the cash to the attendants when we exited the parking space by foot towards the beach.

Finally, Balangan Beach Cliff was also only 5k IDR ($0.35) to park and enjoy the views for as long as we wanted to. Not bad for the sunset view we got there!

Uluwatu is just one piece of Bali that we’ve come to love. There is so much more to see and experience on this island! But for your first self-guided adventure, this one should be on your list!

This Is the No. 1 Surf Destination in the World

Hossegor, located along the southwest coast of France, was just named the best destination to surf.

Vsevolod Vlasenko/Getty Images

The World Surf League's championship tour is well underway, bringing the best professional surfers to places like Australia, Brazil, southern California, and beyond to paddle and battle it out on some of the best breaks on Earth. And while you probably won't be getting out into the lineup with Kelly Slater, Carissa Moore, Griffin Colapinto, Tatiana Weston-Webb, or Gabriel Medina any time soon, they at least may have inspired you to want to go out and surf on your own. And the travel insurance experts at Confused.com have a few suggestions on where you should go. 

The website released its list of the best surf destinations in the world, a study based on wave quality and surfer satisfaction via data from Surf-Forecast , and overall search interest via Google search data. After digging into all the numbers, the team named Hossegor, located along the southwest coast of France, the best destination to surf. 

"Hossegor ranks as the best destination for surfing in the world, with an overall score of 8.16/10. Hossegor offers reliable, excellent conditions for surfing and is known for its hollow and fast-breaking waves favored by experienced surfers. It has an average surfer rating of 4.25, and 48 percent of the recorded waves are clean and surfable." The team also noted in the results that the best time to visit is during the region's fall shoulder season in October when flights and hotels are at their cheapest. 

Hossegor was joined on the list by the legendary Mavericks, located just outside of Half Moon Bay, California, in second place, followed by Tofino, Canada, known for its year-round surf and fantastic wildlife spotting (seriously, watch out for whales here). 

Rounding out the top 10 spots are The Bubble in the Canary Islands; Biarritz in France; Cloudbreak on Tavarua Island in Fiji; Carrapateira in Portugal; Ponta Preta in Maio, Cape Verde; Uluwatu and Kuta in Bali, Indonesia; Pasta Point in the Maldives; Puerto Escondido, in southern Oaxaca, Mexico; and Byron Bay in New South Wales, Australia. 

While yes, this list is fantastic, it's chock full of spots that would easily be rated as expert-only. (Seriously, please do not paddle out to places like Mavericks or Cloud Break unless you really know what you're doing.) So we thought we'd give you three more suggestions for places to go surf if you consider yourself more of a beginner or beginner-intermediate, and asked our friends at The Inertia for their input. Here's what they (and we) suggest. 

Waikiki, Hawaii

If you're going to learn to surf, you might as well do it in the birthplace of the sport — Hawaii. Waikiki is a prime destination, as it often offers soft, rolling waves in beautiful azure waters. Plenty of schools are ready to teach you all the ins and outs, including Kahu , which says 95 percent of its students stand up with one lesson. And, as a bonus, you can drive over to Pipeline and see the pros surf on some of the most pristine waves on Earth. 

Nosara, Costa Rica

The tiny town of Nosara has become an ultra-popular destination for beach-goers, and for good reason. Not only is it stunning, but it also offers plenty of coastline for those who want to surf. Both Nosara Surf School and Nosara Surf Academy are great options and offer lessons for beginners, intermediates, and those looking to take things to the advanced level. 

Cocoa Beach, Florida

Florida may not be the first place that comes to mind for surfing, but you absolutely should not overlook Cocoa Beach if you want to paddle out. Not only does it offer smooth waves, but it's also the hometown of surfing's greatest athlete, Kelly Slater. So really, you'll be surfing in the shadow of greats. Make a reservation with Cocoa Beach Surf School and get out in the water ASAP.

Home of the Most Famous Waves in Bali

Uluwatu is home of the most famous waves in Bali. The spot offers several waves which are working with different swells and tides. The Peak is best at mid and high tide, closes out at low tide. In front of the cave, it's the most consistent. The Racetracks is at 100 meters further with fast wave, a lot of sections with easy tubes. Best at low tide and at 6 ft which can hold bigger swell. On the right tide and the right swell, 'The Peak' connects with 'Racetraks'.

Outside the corner is the real Uluwatu. Works only with big swells (>8 feet) and at low tide. The lower the tide, the better is the wave. Take at least a 7" board. It is a succession of long walls good for carving and, sometimes, a beautiful final tube.

Temple is less surfed. Two waves in fact ("Outside temple" and "The Bombies"). Only for experts because the water is very shallow. For them, it is an incredible tube when it works.

Various restaurants and cafes throughout Uluwatu, from cheap food stalls to luxury restaurants. Naturally, the souvenirs around here are sea-related products, such as items made of seashells and corals. But of course, there are also modern kind of merchandises, such as T-shirts. There are many accommodations from warung (a traditional cafe), motels, hotels to villas. If you stay in a warung you just need to pay for the meals, while better accommodations like starred hotels are located near resorts.

Uluwatu is about one hour drive from the Ngurah Rai International Airport. You can use a taxi from the airport. Or you can go to  Denpasar  and to find a travel agent or auto rental. Many rentals also provide motorcycles.

Uluwatu in Moving Frames

An exploration of the wondrous labuan bajo, borobudur - the grand temple, mandalika - where the waves collide, likupang - escape to the new world, the heartbeat of toba, what they say, romantic bandung - the paris of java.

Well, I just love Bali so much, and we fell in love with the culture, people, the food. Everything was just amazing. I feel like in Bali, you can find serenity anywhere, literally. It's our favorite place that we've been to on our entire trip.
